I love fantasy! I read a book once, called something like 'Something of Recluse' and the system was brilliant. The premise was that there existed three primary types of magick, White, black and grey, but it totally turned my preconceptions on their head. It reasoned black, comforting and all absorbant was the 'good' type. White was chaotic basically, and grey was a really dangerous mixture. The wya people used this magick is something i really identified with. Basically, you had to find the power within yourself, and it took a great deal of concentration and internal willpower to control and master, and it more often than not left the caster extremely fatigued. At the end of the seocnd novel in the series, three 'good' magus' kill themselves in summoning a huge storm! i loved it!!!
