Discussion - The nature of magic in fiction
Disclaimer - Im not really sure how many people visit this thread, and of those people, Im not really sure if there is a base of people who write, or even enjoy what is regularly called fantasy.. Some of the things I have posted here have floated by with no responses, or views for that fact, so I'm not sure.. I'll put out this bone, and see who bites..
What has been your favorite "system of magic" in literature (that you've read, or even better, what you've written yourself)
