Hi everyone! I just had a quick question about my magic system, and would be grateful for any advice.
So I'll summarize my story very broadly for context, I just don't want to tell too much since it's not copywritten (is that a word?) yet.
So there is a world that exists that was hidden from earth for years. It was discovered by a sorceress in our Earth's Middle Ages, and she managed to use her magic to transport herself and several others to the other world. The future rulers of that world all inherited her magic, but some were not able to channel it. The other world was already previously inhabited by magical beings like elves.
So my magic is gestural and usually spoken through incantation. The main thing that limits those who posses it is the inability to use it for extensive amounts of time without the need to rest.
One of my characters get's healed in the story by an elf, who transfers energy into her in order to wake her. This action then transmits magic to her.
So are there any gaps in this system? What can I do to make it better?
