HAHA wow... I ask a question and it is taken into a debate about szeth
"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.

read the first post... it says longest book not counting books that are multiple books in oneDoes the Great Book of Amber count? It's around 1300 or 1400 pages but it's 10 books crammed into one, chapters start on the same page as the last one to make it fit.
It's a single book, so i'd say yeah. Basically an anthology. Afterall, it's "longest book" not "longest single individual novel"
Elaine Cunningham is awesome, but Ed Greenwood is better. Read the Elminster series. It's fantastic.yeah I was thinking about the elminister series. that and the war of the spider queen looks pretty good. thanks
