I actually have never created a magic system myself, so I’m just going to say two things based off of what I like to see in other books.

1. MAKE RULES AND STICK TO THEM!!!! Magic where you can conjure/call up/do basically whatever you need whenever is slightly annoying. It’s too magic of a magic, if that even makes sense.

2. Consider having consequences. If magic was true, I doubt using it would be easy-peasy. In a book series, a character had the ability to ‘blink’ – teleport over great distances, I think by going faster than the speed of light or something. But he was limited. Each time he used that power is used his strength. So maybe you want something that doesn’t work limitless-ly and whenever.

Oh, and well, I did come up with this thing once when I was, like, maybe ten?… basically certain objects could transport certain things. Seashells carried messages. You spoke into it, sent it to a person, and they held it up to their ear and listened.  Flowers carried emotions. Somehow, though I didn’t know how, you put an emotion into a flower, then it closed up and went to the person you wanted it to, and when they touched it it blossomed and gave them the emotion. So that was just my ten year old brain…
