Unravel the secrets to crafting a masterful magic system from best-selling fantasy author Charlie N. Holmberg.

Whether using magic as flavor or as an essential piece of plot, this book will guide fantasy authors, from new to experienced, through the delicate layers of creating, utilizing, and mastering magic systems.


In this book, we will...

  1. Discuss the schools, laws, and spectrum of magic
  2. Learn to build individual pieces of a magic system
  3. Dig into magic's influence on worldbuilding
  4. Examine different types and styles of magic
  5. Develop and polish original magic systems


With workshops, work pages, and reference materials included, this succinct one-and-done guide to crafting the magical elements of the fantasy genre is a must-have for speculative fiction authors.


"If you haven't had the fortune of attending one of Charlie's writing classes (which I have), this is the next best thing. Book of Magic contains so much wit, wisdom, and practical suggestions for helping any beginning author, or veteran, make their magic systems rise up and be noticed. She uses expert examples from other authors you know as well as teaching a masterclass on developing magic systems from scratch based on methods she's invented. You just may need this book to help find out what kind of magic-based diseases might be festering in your neighbor's cabbages." -Jeff Wheeler, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of the Kingfountain series
