Magic is one hell of a fictional trope that is the crux of genres like fantasy and supernatural.
If there is one thing that might or might not get brought up by the readers (and sometimes the author themselves) regarding magic is how the heck does it even actually work. Obviously each fictional world would have different rules regarding limitation of magic (or lack thereof) that the author put in place to make sure there’s a logical path for the readers to follow.
Here in this thread the thing I want to see is discussion, on the rules you all made to limit your magic so it doesn’t cause Deus ex Machina every words, as well as law of magic of other series you have seen that you either take issue or inspiration, letting the world (lol) know of some pretty ingenious (or the opposite of that) take on magic.
Mine for example doesn’t have the clearest of rules just yet, the main crux is how mana/magic points exist as sort of a variant of matter (or energy hasn’t fully decided yet) that can be interacted with using the soul or something else extrasensory, it can be melded into different elements or cause reaction, while also able to bend law of physics and able to destroy anti-matter without it being a mutual destruction, it doesn’t quite exist on the same plane of reality as those that abide the law of physics. Existing for the most part in the atmosphere while living creatures can absorb it to gain more power. Sounds a tad sci-fi but whatever.
Also I put magic circuits in there as a shout-out to Type-Moon, in fact I think some of the stuff I made up about magic can be traced back to Type-Moon, since they have such an intrecate system of mana and spells that I probably put in there without thinking.
