"Magic is what makes fantasy fantastic," someone says, "you can't apply rules to them or else it loses wonder!"

Writing is all about execution, and I find applying some basic laws of physics to magic systems make them more understandable and realistic. Here, I'm going to outline my basic method for developing a magic system.
