The Book Dimension | Hard vs soft magic: everyone gets this wrong @KevinRothert | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 16 hours ago.
Hard magic vs soft magic is the ever-present debate among modern fantasy fans. The debate stems from Brandon Sanderson's first Law of Magics which states: "AN AUTHOR’S ABILITY TO SOLVE CONFLICT WITH MAGIC IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO HOW WELL THE READER UNDERSTANDS SAID MAGIC." While this law has sparked years of debate, in this video, I will finally put the debate to rest and show you how to use this law effectively in your own writing... No matter which type of magic you choose to use.
