I like it when magic, in the rarity of when it does happen, blows your socks off. But when "magicians" are just crapping out fairy sprinkles, magic spells, and firebolts, I believe it depreciates and lessens the very idea of magic as a fine and exquisite seasoning. But hey, Rowling did something right.<br />The first several books of my series are all lightly (and seldom) gilded with an odd, deep magic that cannot be understood. In a later book, it is about a magic-user and describes how magic is more of a science, but nevertheless still "magic." <br />And really, it depends how it's written. Hard magic written well can be great. Soft magic written poorly can be deleterious. Jack de Mondonquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07005579399538874614noreply@blogger.com
