Test Your Magic System!

[Story_Marc]

So, I worked hard this weekend creating this diagnostic test for writers to engage with. Plus, it's the answer to how I'd judge a magic system and if I'd say it works well or not. If you want to see how yours measures up and why, give it a try. It's a simple yes-or-no question throughout.

Where’s the link? All I see is an annoying YouTube video

This is my magic system ?

It's magic. If it does what I need it to, it worked. If not, I need to go back and tweak...

this is good advice for a roleplaying game. For a book series? nono.

Think Conan. Laced with magic, it is all mysterious, incoherent, makes no sense, and perfect considering that 'magic' is something monstrous enemies do... No one cares HOW Thulsa Doom turns into a giant snake, it is evil, and makes for great reading.
