The magic system is one of fantasy’s most difficult worldbuilding elements, whether it be urban, epic, or even gaslamp fantasy. A too-rigid system reads like the instructional manual to a tabletop roleplaying game, while a too-loose system comes off as magic as a spamming of deus ex machina. A good creator treats magic like music, in which they establish a foundation (chords/scales/progressions) and then manipulate those foundations, like improv jazz, to showcase something new and exciting. It becomes an application of those foundational of that baseline (or bass line, to follow the metaphor) and then the twisting of them that makes for an engaging sense of magic in fiction.
