Do you agree with Sanderson's Laws of magic?

[Twalli]

For the most part I agree. The one change I make is that the character's understanding of magic determines what they can do, as opposed to the reader's. That's not to say that smarter characters are stronger, they just can do more than those with similar power and less knowledge.

I didn't post his laws because I am using a phone, and I don't know how to copy and paste on my phone.

--------- SANDERSON’S FIRST LAW OF MAGICS: AN AUTHOR’S ABILITY TO SOLVE CONFLICT WITH MAGIC IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO HOW WELL THE READER UNDERSTANDS SAID MAGIC.

------Sanderson’s Second Law can be written very simply. It goes like this:

LIMITATIONS > POWERS

--- The third law is as follows: Expand what you already have before you add something new.
