Hello! I am a new writer attempting my first delve into the fantasy genre.
My goal is to write fantasy that utilizes the most grounded magic system I could manage. One in which spells are akin to computer coding to alter the “source code” of reality. In order for an Arcanist to understand the “codes”, or “keys” as they will be called, they must understand the function of that key in reality. An arcanist will need to understand a subject before they can effectively alter it by changing it’s key for temporary effects, such as allowing fire to burn without fuel or oxygen, causing light to reflect off of thin air to create illusions or change the boiling points of a substance.
My universe will have a strong grounding with reality and it will require a lot of research to ensure that I make the best and most appropriate use of the magic system to tell my story.
Thank you for your time!
