HoM: Sprig's backend is great.
Is there something you're not telling us, Brandon?
"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.

anyway, when I say Irish, I'm talking about real Irish folk, like the Clancy Brothers, or Irish rock, like the Levellers or Great Big Sea. Not this namby pamby new age sstuff.
My model for this column is going to be Stephen King's column in Entertainment Weekly. It's somewhat rantish, and he tends to ramble, but it's of general interest because he's Stephen King.
