Fantasy Mythic & Magic – How it Works
Threads of the supernatural and fantastic run through fantasy novels no matter the subgenre. Modern day fantasy conjectures worlds different and separate from the world in which we live. When writing a fantasy novel, it helps to map geographical terrain of the fantasy world and track supernatural elements and powers, including magical amulets and other charms along with how they work or don’t work. Fore example: Items such as swords (The Sword and the Stone), shoes (The Wonderful Wizard of Oz), wands (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone), spells, enchantments, and etc. all operate under a set of rules, because even in magical realms laws of magic apply. Mapping and tracking help fantasy writers produce a logical foundation for here characters live and how mythical magic works within the story. When this is done correctly, readers learn to accept supernatural elements as natural because they make sense. |
