[Dei]

If this counts...

Conjuring the elements through martial arts.

not my art btw

[Gladoilus]

Again, amazing, wow you guys are so inspiring and same here I quite like that style

I truly believe your magic system doesn't matter. How does magic work in Lord of the Rings? No one knows. It's magic. It should just be something that moves your plot along and the more you explain the more people will see the flaws in how it works. The Force is a perfect example of this. They more they explained how it worked and why, the more it just became dumb.

Magic in its entirety is an interesting topic to me!

Enchantments, Conjuration, Summoning, curses, hand signs, or even good old runes! Everything magic in any method is valid since it's all in creativity of the mind on how it works or what it does!

[Gladoilus]

Interesting way of putting it

[Gladoilus]

Oh my God, same, and I need to include that more into my works

[WorldBreakerNovels]

Personally, I like the concept of magic being a difficult thing that anyone can learn. Gives a realistic sense that it could actually be done, but people just can't remember how.

[Gladoilus]

That’s a really interesting, but how would your magic affect disabled people looking at the picture? You’ve just given me if they can’t physically like move their hands or legs or people who struggle with memory disabilities

[Gladoilus]

Also note, some disabled people do not like having their disabilities removed due to magic

[choilyriel]

Oh no that's not my work, that's from an anime back then in 2004🤣

I haven't venture into magical story myself because it needs a lot of planning and designing. You could use them as reference to make your story tho especially if your magic system involve the magic circle

[WorldBreakerNovels]

It's more of a style that works best with a focus point. It could be the fingers, a wand, a sword, or even a pencil. As long as you figure out how to activate it, you can apply it to anything in nearly any way!

However, people who can see and/or identify magic are weary of those who get too skillful at it.

[Gladoilus]

That’s very interesting and fair enough,

I like elemental magic, where someone can only use magic associated with their assigned element.

I also like psychic magic. So I like when someone can sense people’s energy, souls, or brainwaves. Also stuff connected to third eye and seeing an unseen world or plane of existence.

Magic in world-building can be complicated, but fun to write/draw once you have the mechanics and rule sets down. I built the whole world of my web comic using Pathfinder & DnD abilities and spells for each character, along with their character sheets to track stats, skills and ironically, hit points. Its important to have rules and limitations that spell casters and the magical world in general, otherwise you just have God-Level characters running around doing whatever and destroying everything.

The magic system in my webcomic, 'Realms of the Fallen', magic exists within each character as spirit energy and latent in the world around them. In Episode '1-24: Magic Channeling 101' , King Ciero explains magic channeling

Magic casting can also be utilized through pre-written seal runes, these are magic rune tattoos that King Ciero uses for instant casting without focusing the spell. Each magical runic tattoo has a different function and spell from Pathfinder/D&D rule sets and all spells / attacks have power levels based on each character's stat sheets I made.

Here's a character sheet back down of Ciero's magic runic tattoos, the language on the Post-It is 'Avian', the magical language of the world.

As for magical limitations, there are some rules that are set for the world:

• Society Rule: Blood and Dark Magic are illegal (i.e. possession, ritual sacrifices, Mage Hand's ViceGrip, any magic used to hurt or kill is a crime)

• Comic Rule: Instant Teleportation without the use of a Portal Waypoint are limited to 4 characters (1 goddess, 1 demon, and 2 main characters much later on in the story)

• Comic Rule: Chronomancy (Time Manipulation Magic) are limited to 2 characters (1 goddess, 1 main character through the help of a 'focus item')

• Comic Rule: 4th Wall Manipulation is limited to the Goddess character, while the Demon is aware is something beyond it.

Its incredibly important to set magic ground rules, especially when dealing with God-Level and mortals characters on the same battlefield, otherwise you get 'Thanos Snap' level of inconsistencies, specifically when 'Time Magic' and '4th Wall Manipulation' can just retcon the whole thing.

My favorite magic is sufficiently advanced technology

[harlan]

My writing seems to include a significant amount of necromancy. And rune magic. I like systems with more than one type or school of magic, but enchantment is probably my favorite.

[DasIstWunderblyat]

Curses and mind-altering type of magic are cool and can open a whole lot of exploration

[TheLemmaLlama]

I like magic that's depicted as mysterious, but knowable. I'm not a fan of super hard magic systems where the in-universe society already has an accurate and rigourous model of how it works that explains everything, like they have it all figured out and any characters learning something new to them is still just leaning someone already known by experts
On the other hand, while it serves a purpose in a lot of stories, I also won't get invested in the magic system itself if it's completely soft and depicted as a complete mystery that's inherently beyond mortal comprehension ... ooooo~ ... I like the characters to demonstrate some curiosity about the magic in their world; for some of them to Explain rather than Worship.

I'm also a fan of magic that doesn't feel 'too easy' to use; e.g. if the magic does not need complex external equipment/magical technology of any kind AND most people can become 'fluent' in magic before the age of 25 if they tried, then that feels 'too easy' imo

I like magic with 'scientific principles'.
Even if all those so-called scientific explanations are complete nonsense, as long as it sounds like a reasonable explanation, such magic would be very cool to me! It's probably like the feeling in the Arcane animation.

Although, compared to magic, I actually prefer close combat. XD
