I’m not sure if you’re taking reqs on the world building stuff 💪 as well as I can’t tell if you’ve done this it’s. Late at night and I skimmed it briefly but would it be possible to do something with a magic system?

I hope your day/week is going good!
Of course!
I've thought several times about doing a piece on magic systems, but I haven't done one yet because magic systems are the one thing I've never been confident of.
(I tend to overcomplicate them and make them only something I can decipher)(it works, I love it, and I'll never trade it out of my main story, but still)
I'll be sure to do an advice page, and a worldbuilding questions page, and when I'm done I'll put the links on here too
But I might as well as give some little pointers as I answer this
Decide whether soft or hard magic systems is for your world (it's just like the difference between soft and hard worldbuilding)
I believe you're likely looking or thinking of a hard magic system, and my advice there don't just think about what magic is capable of but what the magic ISN'T capable
Think about how magic is viewed in the world, especially it's rarity. I see a lot of stories where magic is supposed to be everywhere in life, but magic is still treated as if a secrecy thing, so remember consistency
The limits! Always remember the limits! Think about why characters can't cast crazy spells, or do insane stunts with their magic. And rarely ever introduce something that removes the limits, or give a character a limitless ability. Trust me it opens a fiery can of worms
And how do people develop or learn about magic?
Get creative do anything! Get inspired from anything in life
Here's also some great youtube videos about magic system
