Well thought out magic systems can provide a way to tell your story, give your characters unique backgrounds and help you to build a world that is different, compelling and known to the reader.

Disney stories have evolved over the decades, but they tend to follow a highly recognisable narrative framework that blends classical storytelling (especially the Hero's Journey and Three-Act Structure) with a strong emotional arc.

A magic system is the set of rules, principles, costs, and limitations that govern how magic works within a fictional world. It defines what magic can do, who can use it, what it costs, and crucially, what it cannot do.
