Magic is a staple of the fantasy genre, but some authors don’t take the time to flesh out how it works and what it looks like. There might be a few magic words, maybe a wave of the wand, but for the most part, there’s little distinguishing the depiction of magical workings from one author to the next. Why should any writer settle for that when magic – “real” magic – has a rich history stretching back to the dawn of humankind?
