According to many people, the Harry Potter series is packed with these deplorable DEMs that are the mark of a bad writer, but anyway the series has been unbelievably successful... and it is far more famous and loved than many other Fantasy series with science-like Magic systems and realistic explanations.
As Fantasy writers we should worry more about plunging our readers deep into our worlds, creating something unique that captures the imagination of the readers- In my opinion, that is the true formula of success in what we do: Create a world that people will love, and as long as you do not include really crazy stuff, you will be okay =)
@ThinkerX: Your Magic sounds interesting!! I love stories about demons, ghosts, mysterious spirits and things like that.
As an additional note, I am sure that DEMs made extreme and crazy on purpose could be excellent in Comic Fantasy stories!!
