falcolas Wrote:If you're ever interested in reading a novel with some great ways to view the craft of magic, I recommend reading the Dresden series. Most specifically, Dead Beat if you like the necromancy side of things. There was a great description of how to "gather" the energy of death - by seeing all the death around us on the small scale. When you think about it, there are aspects of death all around us - skin cells, insects, small animals, plants, etc.

Magic always seems to be made too simple by most folks... I like it a bit more when using magic takes something out of you. Forcing the energies around you to bend to your will should never be an trivial thing.

Thanks, I'll look into that sometimes Smile And I'm like that too, I like to know more about the complicated workings of magic in a certain instance Smile Even though I'm likely not going to be playing a magey main character myself, I still like to know all about the lore behind magic.

Anyway, thanks for the additional replies ^^ I'm trying to stay on top of the matter as I get to see more in-game material Smile
