    I don’t want my magic system to seem supernatural because that is what those who use the perversion of the ordained magic do. So my magic system its self isn’t supernatural, but those who abuse it add in a supernatural element.

    You asked a lot of great question for creating a magic system, good thing I already have them all answered. I’ve been working on this for a while and I already know how most of my magic system works. I guess I did make it sound like I was still having trouble with it, But I meant that when I first started out I struggled to find a plausible magic system. Currently I’m just in the stage where I’m working out the kinks. 🙂

    One thing I don’t understand is why you said that the magic system should be “common-place and considered “natural world order” OR considered a special ability/gift/talent that only certain people have access to”. Why can’t it be both? Because mine is. My magic system is considered natural because it not only comes from the earth, but has also been used for as far back as anyone can remember and is used to various degrees by different cultures, some depending on it for survival. But it’s also considered a special ability because only some are born with the ability to use the element.
