ahhh ok. that makes sense.
"Magic is what makes fantasy fantastic," someone says, "you can't apply rules to them or else it loses wonder!" I respond, "Sure, but if you want to write them you will certainly want to know how they work." 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.

We will hopefully see the end of Alcatraz's story in the future, but it won't be soon.
Bastille! You're back!
And it makes a lot of sense that Grandpa Smedry is the one who is killed. Unfortunately.
Noooo! Not Grandpa Smedry... I can't, I won't believe it!
Maybe it's Bastille who dies... (really this time)
Having never read Alcatraz, I assumed that Bastille was a reference to the place. As in Bastille Day. Then I read all of these strange things not quite referencing either the place or the user, and realized that something fishy was going on. The spoiler thread gave you away.
