Goodreads asked Stephanie Flint:

How do you get inspired to write?

Stephanie Flint If I'm trying to get inspired to write a certain scene, listening to a specific song that has the right mood for the story can help. Or I might run through several daydreams of a particular scene to help me get inspired to write that scene.

But a lot of my ideas come from role-play games that my husband runs, or the ideas are spin-offs of those games.

Granted, Magic's Stealing is a bit different. It was primarily inspired by Tamora Pierce's books, along with the song "Rainbow Connection..." and a whole host of other songs.
