Re: Who do you want to write like?

[sarillia]

It sounds like you'll have something pretty cool once you get it sorted out. I wish you luck on that.

Re: Who do you want to write like?

[ketita]

Yeah. I actually wrote a few pages which were based on an extraordinarily logically-plotted dream, which explains some of the odd elements, but I do love it. Now I just need to figure the world out...

Ugh, you know who's great with magic systems? Brandon Sanderson. I wish I could consult with him, haha.

Re: Who do you want to write like?

[sarillia]

I haven't gotten around to reading any of his stuff yet. I should.

Magic systems have been one of my favorite things to think about lately. I've been thinking of all different sources and ways of accessing it and how different societies might come up with different ways of using it based on coming to different conclusions about how it works and specific innovations that come about at different times and ahh so much fun! :D

Re: Who do you want to write like?

[ketita]

Oh, yes, variable magic systems in different areas is interesting.
The books Graceling and its "sequels" did that, though there it actually felt more mushed-together than really a solid combined system. It would be interesting to try and have the magic have a same basic grounding, but very different applications to it.
Of course, then you'd also have the question, is there something preventing people from using another system? Maybe each one "cuts" a kind of groove in the brain while using, and thus a user of one system becomes incompatible with the others (until you find people who manage to cross over, of course...).

I also get hung up on terminology sometimes. I've seen stuff that is written 100% in a different "dialect", which is so exhausting on one hand, but on the other hand it's probably the most 'authentic' telling of a different culture...
