User blog:Ash9876/Announcements by Ash - Magic Creation Outline

Hello everyone~ It's me, your local admin Ash. Is everyone surprised I'm doing something? 'Cause I sure am...

Moving along, if you couldn't tell by the title already, I'm creating this blog post to detail what makes a good magic, and how to make a good magic article, (which will also include why you should make them good).

What constitutes a good magic?
The majority of what was written here was done in conversation with the Administrator of Magic, Deus or Perchan.

What is "good"?
Okay guys, before I go on about what is a "good" magic, I should talk about the context of "good" within this sentence. Now; good has several implications, but what context am I talking about here?

Good within this context means that the magic has a few requirements, which are as follows:
 * Must make sense within the context of the Fairy Tail series, (which means that its use must be justified)
 * Should have plausible weaknesses.
 * Cannot be a rip-off with barely any modifications (such as a different element). I mean, if you're gonna rip-off from another magic, why not just use that (with permission, of course).
 * Should be a classified Holder, Caster or Lost Magic (even then, you should classify it as Caster or Holder)
 * Should not be copied directly from another series. Influences are perfectly fine as long as credit is given, or originality is made.

So; I have established that and pretty much established the requirements for a good magic. But there's still a bit more. Now I understand people like to make different forms of magic for their own stories and the like; and that's perfectly fine. Magical equipment is even encouraged among this wiki, as it gives you a bit of uniqueness with your characters. One thing you shouldn't do is however; continually create Lost Magic or in particular, Slayer Magic.

Now I've explained this in another blog: Pros and Cons of Lost Magic, so I won't drag on about this matter. But really consider the reason for creating Lost Magics guys. I mean, Lost Magic is rare and came from  time. So please, remember that; if you are creating a Lost Magic, should it really be a Lost Magic? Or can it simply be a Caster Magic?
