For whatever reason a lot of magic systems just don't have that.Luka Michaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10279096761428962256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919656076876074934.post-77102998922166314082011-08-05T16:45:36.115-05:002011-08-05T16:45:36.115-05:00@Cherri Anderson, Nope, only one comment here. lol...@Cherri Anderson, Nope, only one comment here. lol. I know what you mean about the way fantasy is. I'm hoping the magical system in Shadowsword is believable and easy to understand, though it can get complex, and that my plots aren't too hard to follow. These days, I notice fantasies from new authors tend to be fairly simple, because readers have become impatient when absorbing a new world. Thanks for reading. <br /><br />@Samantha Tillis, yeah, we at FTLOW have apparently been really busy these last few weeks. The last week and a half for me has had me running around with hardly anytime for writing anything, including blogs. I've been talking to the other authors on this blog, and they've been the same. Must be the summer.

Lol. I'm bookmarking this because it's too much info for me to remember or even attempt to memorize. Loved it and it's something I needed to read. I don't like Wheel of Time (too slow and wordy) but I get the examples you used. I don't read too much fantasy these days because sometimes authors make magic way too unbelievable. Or the plots are so intricate I'm confused beyond words and it kills the story. Lol. I'm hoping my stories don't do that to ppl. This is def a big hellp.
