Hi, thanks for letting me in. I'm in the middle of what I call a "fun fantasy"--a gentle spoof of a lot of things, and a not so gentle satire of others.
I chose to mix fantasy and even some dabs of SF with a more straight forward spoof because I think it will sell better, to be honest.
My question is this--I have my hero on a quest in which he has to fight a giant, but here's the thing. I also have a genie who could give him untold magic tools to use in the fight. But it seems to me, and your opinion is welcomed here, that if I give the hero magic to aid him, then it's not much of a quest! Who couldn't beat a giant with that kind of help. No conflict.
So what's your opinion? Can I use a few magic tools--such as the giant has cat's eyes and can see in the dark (up to total darkness) and he can also see invisible objects. So that with his size means he's not totally helpless.
Thank you.
