Just wrapped up book PoD last night, then preordered it :-)
"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.

hmm, ive always wondered why Fain visits Caemlyn aswell(after the TR) before he goes to the tower and get the dagger again.
Also im abit curious if Slayer killed anyone important when he stepped out of the dream world and killed a sleeping couple. I remember when i read it it seemed he had choosen the wrong couple to go stab, but i dont know.
Doing a reread and just finished the part where Fain gets the dagger back from the tower. He mentions going after Rand and "old enemy". I don't have the exact quote on hand though. Any idea who this old enemy is. This seem to be from Mordiths perspective so it would have to be someone from the AoL (makes me think Asmodean but I haven't got back to his death scene yet). My only thoughts are one of the forsaken if he is referring to an individual.
Dragonsteel is at the BYU library--if you did want to interlibrary loan it (assuming it's not currently checked out).
