The Basics of Magic

I was going through my prior posts, and realized that I may not have clearly explained how the magic works on a basic level.

It was told in the first novel that the height of a person has a direct impact on the amount of magic a person can wield. I had someone who's reading through my first book pose an interesting question and made me realize I should go into more depth about what all impacts a magical user.

First, as mentioned, the height of a person has the direct impact on the amount of magic a person can wield.

Second, physical fitness is essential. The more physically fit a person is, the better their magic will work for them and with them. Think about it like this: when people don't exercise on a regular basis, when they go to do something it requires more energy on their part and they get drained faster. If someone is more physically fit, then the drainage on their energy levels is lessened. This is how it works with magic. Magic takes a toll on the users energy/stamina levels. If they are more physically fit, they will be able to do more magic at once or for longer duration of time. Sometimes these correlations will be more equal depending on the type of magic being used.

Third, the type of magic being used has an impact/correlates with the first two.

I hope this has helped to clear up some issues, if anyone was having any. If there are any questions please feel free to comment and I will address them accordingly.
