"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.

Little Wil, I googled it. So now I know that trolling is 'Being a prick on the Internet because you can.' Thanks!
As soon as I get out of prison, I'm gonna go pick a fight with one of those walking vegetals.…
Has anyone heard the song 'Don't Fear the Reaper?' I know, it sounds kind of weird, and I don't even really care for the song that much it's just that it has this really cool guitar solo in the middle that I love.
Are you referring to the song done by Blue Oyster Cult? A classic.
But did the fact that you ended up in prison prove you were a good street brawler, or that you got whooped and woke up in prison? I now have a new fear that whatever scared me is going to scare Cthulhu any day now.......
Well I like my title so I don't have much to rant about…so I probably shouldn't be in this thread, right?
I might have be in need of some absolution, too, after I'm finished with Jade….
Threads have a way of evolving, Jade. To say something is off the topic of a thread would mean that a lot of the long threads' later posts are off topic….
But sorry. I'll try to go off on less tangents.
I'm normally pretty hesitant to spend money on movies like this because Hollywood generally gets them wrong. Most of the time these movies are all special effects and no story line, which makes for a boring movie for me. I guess that's why I wouldn't be too excited about a Mistborn movie. I think that they'd turn it into too much of a fight movie and not enough time developing the characters or the storyline. Don't get me wrong, I hope they make it into a movie, but I just think they'll get it wrong.
Personally, the two movies I'm waiting for are X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Toby McGuires take on Robotech.
