The Wonder of World-building: A to Z of Magic

When it comes to magic, pretty much anything goes, especially if you’re creating a fictional world and its associated rules from scratch. As I write the third book in the Beyond Androva series, Kellan’s backstory brings the chance to explore Xytovia in a bit more detail, and it got me to thinking about the history of magic in storytelling.

I have always loved stories that contain magic, and it was probably inevitable that fantasy would be my genre of choice as a writer. It’s been a while since I did an A to Z, so today’s post is a lighthearted list inspired by magic in fiction. I’ve tried to include a variety of sources—books (of course!), film, television, and even some folklore. Is there anything on the list that you hadn’t heard of? Would your choices be the same as mine? I hope you enjoy it, and thank you very much for visiting my blog today
