A few years back, I wrote an essay on creating magic systems that I titled Sanderson’s First Law. It had to do with the nature of foreshadowing as it relates to solving problems with magic. In that essay, I implied that I had other “laws” for magic systems that I’d someday talk about. Well, that time has come, as I’ve finally distilled my thoughts for the second law into an explanation that will work.
I’ll start, however, by noting that none of these “laws” are absolute. Nor am I the only one to talk about them. By calling them “Sanderson’s Laws” I’m merely referring to them in the way I think of them–they are rules I try to live by when designing magic systems for my books. There are a lot of ways to write, and the only real “laws” are the ones that work for you.
These work for me. I think they are actually all principles of good writing, not just writing as it pertains to magic systems. However, because magic systems are one of the things I most like to toy with in my writing, I have designed them in such a way that they encourage me toward stronger, and more interesting, magic in my fantasy books.

1. Jennifer - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with "List of Magic Powers". The storyline was all over the place and it was difficult to keep track of the characters and their powers. It felt like the author was just throwing in random magical elements without any clear direction. The writing style was also quite confusing, with grammatical errors and awkward sentence structure. Overall, I found it to be a confusing and unsatisfying read.

I couldn't even finish reading "List of Magic Powers". The plot was incredibly predictable and lacked any originality. The characters were one-dimensional and I couldn't connect with any of them. The writing was also subpar, with repetitive phrases and cliched descriptions. I felt like I was reading a middle schooler's attempt at a fantasy novel. I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for a well-developed and engaging magical story.

I had high hopes for "List of Magic Powers", but unfortunately, it fell short. The concept of the book was intriguing, but the execution was poor. The pacing was inconsistent, with slow parts dragging on and fast-paced scenes lacking depth. The world-building was also limited, leaving a lot of unanswered questions. Additionally, the dialogue felt forced and unnatural. Overall, I found this book to be underwhelming and unfulfilling.
4. Mark - 3 stars
"List of Magic Powers" was an average read for me. While the idea of exploring different magical abilities was interesting, the writing style and character development left much to be desired. The story lacked depth and the characters felt flat. There were moments of excitement, but they were overshadowed by repetitive descriptions and predictable plot twists. If you're a fan of light and easy fantasy reads, this book might be worth checking out, but don't expect anything extraordinary.
