As fantasy writers, when we come up with our own magic systems, we're going to inevitably end up writing epic fight scenes with super powers in them.
But...how do we do that? How do we write our magic systems into our battles properly?
Today, I'm giving you 4 tips to writing to sliding in your magic system cohesively into epic fight scenes!

*Note: I will be assuming you have a magic system in place while reading this post. If you don't, I highly suggest you check out this post I did here and at least start to feed in a magic system for your book before reading this post.

Let's get started!
*Note: Some of these tips are tilted more towards fantasy writers rather than other genres, as that is the genre I most specialize in. Still, I know that these tips can be used and tweaked to your own genre, so it's still super beneficial for other genre writers to read on!
