7 Signs Readers Will Love Your Magic System

When your reader starts mimicking the magic’s movements and angrily yells the spells into the mirror, while brushing their teeth: THATS when you know you crafted a good magic system. :)

I was a bit insecure of my magic system, I thought it was too basic and one-dimensional. But now, I have realized that it’s perfect the way it is.

Thank you soooo much, have felt insecure about my magic system, this helped soo much

What about magical blood colors that allow users to absorb or fuse with different physical items or elements like metal and non-physical concepts like memories and strength. Their bodies will take on the characteristic of what they fused with or absorbed. Black Blood allows users to fuse and absorb metal. Black Bloods can animate metal prosthetics to act like normal limbs and attach weapons to their bodies that will then act like an extension of their bodies. Orange Blood allows users to absorb and fuse with non-metal elements like stone, fire, air, water, and plants. Similar to Black Bloods, Orange Bloods can animate constructs made of the element. Green Blood allows users to absorb and fuse with animals. Users can attach large bird wings to their back to fly, some can absorb sea animals to be able to breathe in the ocean, and much more. Purple Blood allows users to absorb and fuse with body parts of other Purple Bloods. Users might have multiple heads and arms or legs that they can move and control. Silver Bloods allows users to absorb and fuse with the strength, speed, and durability of others by stealing it from them. Their bodies will become stronger while those they have stolen from will become weaker. Gold Bloods allows users to absorb and fuse with the minds and memories of others. They can steal personalities and know the past of those they have absorbed. Blue Bloods allow users to absorb and fuse with corpses. They can animate the dead by giving the corpses some of their blood, including controlling the bodies of other blooded beings. No Bloods are users who do not have any blood but instead have dust. They can absorb the flesh of others and then use that flesh to heal their own bodies. They do not feel any pain or any fear. They can also graft their own body parts on others, allowing them to take control of the body part and use it as if they were still attached to them. White Bloods allow users to manipulate and control any organic lifeform (unable to alter a lifeform that is elemental or metallic). They can alter the biological structure of others with a single touch but they cannot alter that lifeform a second time.

You mentioned a lot of great points but I would've liked more pieces of advice that apply to soft magic systems since I'm writing a story with a soft magic system

8:35 Ah yes, Nitchkee, my favourite philosopher

I absolutely loves your video your an inspiration and i hope there will be another magic system contest as i will like to present my magic system which is combining numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division making math more entertaining and fun to watch all while learning. Limitations: headaches.

I watch a lot of anime and read a lot of manga and I always find myself comparing the magic systems in these videos to the magic systems I see in a certain anime or manga. I was wondering if you ever view those types of media because I think an analysis on their magic systems would be so interesting. Love your videos!

Love the black prisim...this explanation is so needed 👌

My magic system is simple (minded). Mental effort is expended to manipulate energy fields. It's exhausting and the magic user is vulnerable because all the attention must be focused on the spell. A new spell requires a chant to focus the mind on the desired results, but with practice the spell can be initiated without the chant by simply focusing on it, and eventually by willing it with little conscious effort, although it still requires the same mental energy. Large spells require assistants to feed their energy to the magic user to amplify the effect.

Oh I love The Name of the Wind. It's been awhile since I've been so enchanted with a story. Truly cannot wait for book 3, The Doors of Stone. Not counting The Slow Regard of Silent Things and The Narrow Road Between Desires, which I also love despite them being stories meant to fill the gaps between The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man's Fear. It's goes without saying (saying it anyway); The Kingkiller Chronicle is a must read.

I made a magic system in my world called, 'Switch Magic.' It is magic, but when you chant incantations, it can switch to dark magic. This can be combined with pretty much any sort of magic (like hemocrafting.). The only downside is that this corrupts the hell out of the character, and if they don't to be corrupted, they have to be in service or worship the goddess Hala. However, that is not easy. Thanks for these vids, and also love the thumbnail.

Thank you for this useful tips

If i ever rite a book and it gets famous, ill give you credit Thanks for all the good tips

I'm planning on writing a graphic novel, but it's also in fantasy. So listening to you to enhance and deepen my characters (specifically the protagonist's powers are monster-related, and I wanted to make it more challenging, so hey, what if the only way to use their powers is to hide them with things that are meant to chase away/hurt monsters. Obviously, it'll cause pain, so the lesson is learning how to cope, endure, and eventually overcome struggles in life.)

New vid let's goooooo

I never imagined hearing anyone quote Nietzsche to explain Pokemon :)

7:15 Yeah, but what does "burn them inside themselves" mean? Don't get me wrong I know, because I've read them, but if I hadn't read them and someone said that to me, it would sound so confusing.
