Hard And Soft Magic Systems
Manage episode 360605433 series 3355314
One thing that I haven't covered an awful lot of, both in blogging form and on the podcast, is magic systems.
I'll admit, I'm not a massive user of magic in stories (my current work in progress aside). However, I do love a good magic wielder with Pug from The Riftwar Cycle my all-time favourite.
So given this lack of coverage, I decided to tackle things in earnest, starting with a duology on The Fantasy Writers' Toolshed podcast.
To help me, I'm joined by Janina Arndt and Lucy Atkinson from The Fey Fellowes Podcast and in this first instalment we talk all about hard and soft magic systems—the two main types that people often discuss.
We look at examples of these different magic systems as well as the space in between where writers can find unique and original angles.
