 Chaos Theories #2: Magic Systems 101
Posted by: Nessa on March 08th, 2010

"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.

Chaos Theories
Posted by: Nessa on February 16th, 2010

Inevitably, people's eyes widen, amazed when I tell them I am a math major. These people are mostly the ones in my writing group. Since I write and I go to college, I must be an English major, and they always respond with, "Wow, I could never do that." The same happens in reverse: I can meet a new person, tell them that I'm a math major, and they are amazed I write. Why must these be two mutually exclusive things?
