A tip for people that struggle with coming up with ideas for a magical system I am personally a sucker of taking something common from real life and extending it into something magical. Let me explain on an example. I once wrote a magic system based on probability calculations. The witches and wizards could feel which outcome an action could have and use magic to make said outcome happen. The unlikeliest outcome would cost the most magic and energy to archive and when the possibility for it to happen was 0% no witch could make it happen. (So making fire through magic when its dry and someone is clanking stones together is easy. Making fire in poring rain hard to impossible). It's fun because it works with so many things. You can make magic out of cooking, sewing, weaving, cleaning, programming,... endless possibilities

@valentinmitterbauer4196

Smartasses like me would cry out, that there is hardly such a thing as "impossible", even in real physics, due to tunneling. Adams plays with this idea, in "The Hichhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", the "Heart of Gold" overclocked normal probability, reversing its effects, which made extremly improbable events extremly probable and vice versa. For example, turning two ballistic missiles into a sperm whale and a potted petunia (although the petunia was actually an ever-reincarnating, immortal being, which made this event even more unlikely)

I am making a TTRPG and I was experimenting with environmental factors. What happens if at low levels, you may be unable to use most fire magic except for making sparks for a fire (so simple and cheap to do you can do it anywhere that has air). On the flip side, you may burn yourself alive at low levels as your low level spell jumps up to ten times as powerful by being on top of a volcano.

in the end, execution is what determines whether a magic system is good or not.

Nobody really questions why the 'post mortem' power up has to exist because of how well the story has been told around it.

Unironically finding out your magic system is hard, not soft like you thought

@abbycaldwell3166

10w↑23

To be fair, hard vs soft magic is very much a spectrum. The harder the magic system, the more strictly defined the rules and limitations are. Even very soft magic systems still need some rules to be bound by, they just tend to be a lot more flexible in how that magic can be used

@Pie_Mastah

10w↑3

@@abbycaldwell3166 i don't think it's even that. take hxh for example, how characters acquire their specialised nen is completely arbitrary and is very soft magic system esque. however when pitted against each other, the rules established in the fight gives it a hard magic system feel.

in the end, i find hard and soft magic system as optional guidelines rather than rules on how magic systems in fiction works

@skullsquad900

10w

@piemastah2258 That's the same thing.
The "Rules Established" are the same rules everyone else's Nen goes by, and because of that you can even come to the same conclusions as the characters.
Hence, it's a Hard Magic System...
Their Unique Abilities and how they got them are irrelevant to how they are actually utilized.

@DemonKing19951

10w↑17

I personally prefer writing around Limitations and Costs rather than weaknesses. Weaknesses can make a story predictable and settings I enjoy rather focus too much on the mundane characters within it. I'll usually only throw in weaknesses as an extension of costs, kind of playing into the idea that the cheating to gain power as a price even if you don't pay for it immediately.

I got a semi-hard magic system, and since I wanted to have something more substantial than "magic require stamina" I made my wizards run on batteries. Not literal batteries, but magic crystals that store the energy they use for spellcasting. It can give you the power to level a city block, but when you run dry you're SOL.

@nimishmalik884

Also I'd like to bring War of Broken Mirrors to the spotlight: it's magic directly correlates with bodily functions.

Use too much fire? Your body can't maintain its temperature anymore. Too much mirror magic? Your vision gets worse. Protection? Your body is more prone to injury.

It's a really fun magic system

@BluestormsSong

I made a magic system that ran on a principle that was basically all three of these tied into one. Magic came from an outside source, but using it required the caster to actively focus on channeling it. The more energy you tried to channel, the more focus it took, so a big spell done sloppy wasn't any more effective than a small spell done well. This could actually be dangerous to the caster, too (think of a water balloon v. a squirt gun, only with fire). Also, if an area didn't have much magic, you had to be careful what you used it for, or you'd run out of juice mid-spell.

I've always liked that metal magic. can't remember the name of it I think it's farrilchemy. but the premise is you ingest medal to gain power. there's a second type of magic in that same world in which you can use metal to store attributes for later consumption. it's a zero sum amount you store your strength now you are weaker now, but you can use it later.
though another series I'd ran across by Devon Monk had magic cost pain. a quick glamour spell to make you look nice might make you have a headache for half an hour or something like that. if you want to do something more, you very well might be debilitated for days on end. they also have the choice of a way to offload this discomfort and pain. which means that either you can pay someone to hurt for you or if you're cruel just dump it on someone on willing.

In my og magic system magic is simply an energy that a normall human body is not equipped to handle so it need to be channeled through a staff wand crystal scroll and such

You can still use magic raw without any conduits but if you use some lower mid level spell and fail your save your arm meat will peel off the bone in a sparkly explosion leaving strands of your arm hanging at your elbow

Anything that the caster touches (even other living being though hard to pull off) can be a conduit but unless specifically made to channel magic it will most likely just explode and the rest of the energy will still come to bite your arm off

Obviously Eragon doesn’t work as well for adults as it did when they were children for numerous reasons but I like the idea in their magic system that you can’t do anything with magic that you couldn’t otherwise do just with more time or while closer, thereby encouraging clever and economical use of magic.

I don’t really like magic that drains a person stamina in story writing because there’s too much room for exaggeration since stamina isn’t something you can visually measure. A person can have as much stamina or as little stamina as the writer wants and so it can make the story feel a bit lazy.
