Bad Magic Systems
whenever I’m reading a fantasy story, the one thing, more than anything else, that pulls me out of it and ruins the experience is a bad magic system. also, obviously, this is semi-satirical. i know that pokemon and football truly aren't magic systems. clearly, they're alchemy.

Why you SUCK at writing: Magic Systems
To explain the thumbnail if anyone likes to read descriptions (hey btw :3)
Freiren's magic system is great because they don't yap on and on about someone's powers. They show off their spell, say 'if the mage can imagine it, they can do it' and that's it.
Jujutsu Kaisen could do that, but if you're a manga reader like me, you know that no one has more dialogue than the narrator who loves to info dump about people's powers for the audience. JJKs magic system can equally be summed up as 'If they can imagine it, they can use their magic better'. And yet often times, we are treated to walls of text describing and over explaining abilities until no one outside of a powerscaling YTer is going to care. It's bad storytelling, and I might make a video on it.
Anyways, no one reads these things, ...

Magic in fiction feels limp
Magic is a cornerstone of fantasy fiction. So why the hell do I find it so boring and unsurprising a lot of the times? Let me ramble for fifteen minutes about it.
#Magic #Fantasy #Writing #LastMinuteEssays

The video on Mandala drawing shown for a bit:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiSzGBguPm0
=========
I tried fiddling a bit with fade-ins, image positioning and so on. Vegas is hell when it comes to that stuff, I might actually consider selling my soul to Adobe if their software does a better job. Also yay, first custom thumbnail.
Last Minute Essays is a creative project of mine, made solely because I know people prefer listening to rambling to reading it. And there's a lot of rambling that comes out of my brain which I want to get out into the world somehow.

There’s a strange kind of magic in human art and artifice, and I mean that literally. It shows up throughout fiction, but in even stranger places than that too.
Let’s soak some of those ideas up and see what we can do with them in our own stories!

Magic is a cornerstone of fantasy fiction. So why the hell do I find it so boring and unsurprising a lot of the times? Let me ramble for fifteen minutes about it.

The video on Mandala drawing shown for a bit:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiSzGBguPm0
=========
I tried fiddling a bit with fade-ins, image positioning and so on. Vegas is hell when it comes to that stuff, I might actually consider selling my soul to Adobe if their software does a better job. Also yay, first custom thumbnail.
Last Minute Essays is a creative project of mine, made solely because I know people prefer listening to rambling to reading it. And there's a lot of rambling that comes out of my brain which I want to get out into the world somehow.

There’s a strange kind of magic in human art and artifice, and I mean that literally. It shows up throughout fiction, but in even stranger places than that too.
Let’s soak some of those ideas up and see what we can do with them in our own stories!
