    <p style=”text-align: left;”>Hello! I’m having a few doubts and I’m hoping I can find some answers here.</p>
    I’m in the midst of plotting a novel in which magic is very much part of the plot and conflict. However this morning when reading my Bible I came across a verse calling satan “the prince of the power of the air.” (Eph. 2:2)

    Now this sparked spiralling for me because my story uses elemental magic (and the main character has air magic) but it did lead me to thinking: what are the reasons why we find it okay to write about magic?

    Because it’s fiction and thus an entirely new world? Because it’s not meant to be like our world and not bound to our world’s laws? Even though ‘magic’ in ‘real-life’ is associated with demon worship etc?

     

    Just interested to hear what your opinions are 🙂
