Magic in 'His Dark Materials' is related to the daemons and Dust. It has a spiritual and scientific aspect to it. The characters' connection to their daemons is a crucial part of the magic in this world. When comparing it to other novels like 'The Dresden Files' where magic is a bit more like a hidden part of the modern world and the wizard has to deal with both the magical and mundane aspects of life, we can see how different magic systems can reflect different themes and settings.
In 'Eragon', the magic system, which involves using the ancient language, has a direct impact on the plot. If Eragon mispronounces a word in the ancient language while casting a spell, it can have disastrous consequences. This adds a layer of danger and unpredictability. Also, the fact that magic users are rare and often persecuted in the world of 'Eragon' creates a lot of the story's conflict and drives the plot forward as Eragon tries to change that situation.
There's also divination magic. Characters use it to foresee the future or get hidden knowledge. In 'Harry Potter', Professor Trelawney teaches divination. Enchantment magic is another type. It can be used to put spells on objects or people. For instance, a magic sword might be enchanted to be extra sharp or have special powers.
Magic systems can create conflicts. For example, in 'A Song of Ice and Fire', the magic of the Others is a great threat, which drives the plot forward as characters have to face this unknown and powerful magic. It also provides solutions. Wizards or mages with magic can solve problems that normal means can't, like in 'The Lord of the Rings' where Gandalf uses his magic to protect the Fellowship at times.
I recommend the following modern fantasy novels for your reference: 1. " My Magical Journey Is A Little Strange "-This book created the most complete magic system, including elemental magic, demon fruit, holy clothes, substitute messengers, and so on. 2. " Kingdom of Destiny "-The protagonist holds the Book of Destiny, condenses a divine persona, ascends from the earth, and controls destiny. In the book, you can see different magic systems colliding with each other. 3. " Founding the Magic Age "-The story of the protagonist establishing a magic system in the magic wasteland of Ceylon. It was a novel with the theme of magic construction. The above is my personal recommendation. I hope you will like my recommendation.
A magic system where the user has to sacrifice a part of their physical appearance each time they cast a powerful spell. For example, losing a bit of hair or the color in their eyes. Another idea is a magic system that is based on music. Different melodies create different effects, and only those with perfect pitch can be powerful mages.
I recommend " The Pharmacist of the Yoshino World " to you. This novel was written by the author, the thumb doll. The protagonist accidentally transmigrated to the world of " Yoshino World " and became a Yoshino, but he didn't want to eat human flesh. He used his own Invincible Kidney Treasure Pill to let the Pi seed eat delicious food. I hope you will like this novel.
I recommend the novels "Choosing a Full-time Hunter at the Beginning" and "The Strongest Cultivation System". The former had Dragon Ball, One Piece, Naruto, full-time hunter, and many other training systems to choose from, and it was different from the world of Immortal Cultivators. The latter was about the main character Leo creating the strongest cultivation system, showing a wide variety of cultivation systems. For fantasy novels about battles of wits, I could recommend "The Desolate Emperor of Heaven is My Master" and "The Wicked Eye Martial God". The former described the protagonist's experiences and adventures after meeting the Desolate Emperor of Heaven, full of cunning and resourcefulness. The latter was about the protagonist Bu Shan gradually breaking through the layers of difficulties during the martial qi stage, showing the intense scene of a battle of wits and courage. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
In her novels, like 'Shadow and Bone', she creates the Grisha magic system. The Grisha are divided into different orders based on their abilities, such as the Corporalki who can manipulate the human body. This division gives a clear structure to the magic.
Well, in Harry Potter, magic is often channeled through wands. In a fanfiction scenario, if Harry were to enter the world of Bleach, his wand - based magic might seem very foreign to the Soul Reapers. Toshiro Hitsugaya's zanpakuto has its own unique abilities. If he were to enter the wizarding world, his reiatsu - based attacks might not be affected by the anti - magic spells like a wizard's magic would be. However, the wizarding world's protective spells, like the Fidelius Charm, might be difficult for Toshiro to break through with his normal abilities as they are based on a completely different type of magic. The two magic systems would likely clash and also, in some cases, complement each other. For instance, Toshiro's ice - based powers could be used to cool down some of the volatile potions in the wizarding world, and Harry's spells could be used to temporarily blind Hollows.
To blend the magic systems, we could consider the idea of magical energy sources. In 'Harry Potter', magic seems to flow from within the wizard and is channeled through the wand. In 'Lina Inverse', there is a more primal and raw form of magic. A fanfiction could have a situation where a powerful magical object is discovered that can only be activated by combining the two types of magic. Harry and his friends would have to learn from Lina how to access and control this more instinctual magic, while Lina would have to understand the nuances of wand - based magic in order to be successful.
