C. R. Rowenson's Magic System Workbook was instrumental in streamlining my magic system for The Shadows of Cro series. The examples and activities throughout lead the participant to view magic from different perspectives, which is imperative to creating a solid system.

Nothing makes or breaks a fantasy book or series for me like the presence or absence of an expertly crafted magic system. From wizards to superheroes and everything in between, Rowenson pulls back the curtain on adding fantastical elements to your fiction in a way that I haven’t found anywhere else. His surgical deconstruction will forever change the way you see magic systems and his practical guidance will forever change the way you build them. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a budding novice, whether you already have a magical framework or are scratching your head on where to begin, this guide will ensure you come up with something unique and memorable in a time where it seems like “everything has been done.” I can’t recommend this enough!

Most of my secondary world fantasy stories start as an idea for some cool magic, but I struggle with wrangling all my ideas into a system that is both interesting and usable within a narrative. Clark’s blog and now his workbook have been a huge help. This workbook helped me think about limitations in new ways I’d never considered before. The clear but mind-stretching exercises pulled my brain out of its usual box and gave me a lot more interesting elements for my stories. If you feel stuck on where to go next with your own system, I recommend giving this workbook a try.
