Working on writing for my show: do you think the world I’m making should be more grounded in reality or have some type of magic?

No magic: Everything would be explainable and there wouldn’t be any story plot-holes or reasoning like “oh just solve the problem with magic haha”

Magic: Room for more-exciting battle scenes, but would open up a lot of unrealistic scenarios that wouldn’t be able to be explained.

As the show stands right now, I have a detailed system involving Heat Crystals, which is the only “magic” in the show currently. If I chose to add more magic, I might have to balance their importance or make it limited to a specific amount of people. It’s all very confusing and frustrating on the writing end, so I’ll let you all help decide: to magic, or not to magic?

  1. alert3 answered: not to magic. remember, with magic, you NEED to explain ALL the rules eventually. the work might not be owrk it.
  2. turquoise-luminescence answered: I’d say go with whatever you want, but I’m sure you got enough of those answers already. So I shall say, no magic~
