Hi guys!
I have a few things i'd like some opinions about:
1. In a will-based magicsystem (magic is performed by the will and koncentration of the wizard) how do you learn new spells? How would a schoolbook in magic explain how to perform a fire-spell for example?
2. I want room for creativity in my system. I think it's kind of boring to have a wizard who knows a fire-spell and is only able to spray fire in battle. I want him to be able to customize the spell, be able to light candles, campfires, heat up metals etc. In a will-based magic system i guess that's easy, you just regulate the strength of the spell with your will. However in that case, all magic is based on four spells: fire, earth, water and air and different versions of them. And I'd like more than just four elemental-spells! How should I solve this problem?
Yours,
TopHat.
