Magic is one of the defining characteristics of the fantasy genre. A writer has unlimited possibilities to choose from when building their world and the magic that shapes it. Flying. Shapeshifting. Characters wielding fire or healing with a touch. Magic potions and runic spells. Ancient sorcery or city witches. Demon magic and necromancy. Witch marks and superheroes.
This Workbook is designed to walk you through the process of creating your magic system, from choosing the types of powers, to figuring out how your magic is cast, what powers your spells, and how your magic will affect and interact with your story and characters as a whole. Each step includes an explanation of why it's important, examples to give you ideas, space and prompts to brainstorm your thoughts, and lists of potential answers to the questions posed.
Following the 14 steps of this Workbook, you will create a unique, interesting, and fun system of magic.
