Fantasy Magic Systems RANKED!

with wizard of Earthsea the magic system is so often used for such creative and beautiful things that it just enhances the story overall

in terms of adding to combat few have done it as well as Brent weeks did here he has written some of the best magic fight scenes ever period full stop with the black prism Lightbringer as a whole

the ideas are wonderful and it's tied into the world really well the current social classes and structures for me for that reason I think I'm gonna go ahead and type it drop it into a it's just the actual core magic itself I'm not in love with

the problem is Terry Goodkind absolutely demolishes the stakes of his story with this magic system like Miley Cyrus wrecking ball level here and that is because his magic system is used as a MacGuffin just again and again and again and again to the point where I don't think anyone can ever feel like the protagonist is in danger
