Seems there is a trend here.. Lots of work, Sacrifice, etc..
A friend and me were talking about that trend tonight.. We think that there is a tendancy towards it taking alot of work because 1) We have always been taught that to get anything you have to work hard, and that translates into literature, even fantasy or 2) it lends an air of "anyone can do it if thye work hard at it"
What do you think of a .. Royal system.. Its harder to explain, but think about it.. To use magic you have to be of a certain family, have the right bloodlines, and there isnt any work for you to use the power you now have.. (No add to that a devine right of kings attiture where because the royal mage is so powerful, they have to use the power accordingly)
