#mistborn #brandonsanderson #booktube #fantasybooks #cosmereI have a magic system...now I need a story | Write With MeThe Book Dimension2024-08-20 | I took Sanderson's Laws of Magic and made a magic system from scratch here on the channel.

A series on magic systems would be incomplete if we didn't talk about the magic in my own book: The Fourth Wall.
