"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.

It's helpful, the first time you go to sushi, to go with a friend who knows it. If you're ever feeling adventurous, and want to go on a sushi date in Reno, Ari (my fiancée) and I would be glad to double you and your date for sushi (we absolutely love it—and it's best to eat sushi with about 4 people, so you can taste a little of a lot of different things).
If you're weirded out by meeting online people (i.e., me), that's okay too—we here at TWG are a pretty tight-knit group that way, though (I have to admit, I was glad to see a local sign up—gets tiring having to travel to Utah to see any TWiGgers.)
