## Magic System Design

### Source
Where does the magic come from? (internal reserves, external forces, deals with entities, environmental energy, etc.)

### Access
Who can use it? Is access innate, learned, purchased, or inherited? What determines ability?

### Mechanics
How does it work in practice? What does the user do — speak, gesture, concentrate, sacrifice?

### Costs and Limits
Every compelling magic system has a price. Design the cost:
- Physical cost
- Temporal cost (time to cast, cooldown, depletion)
- Hard limits (what it absolutely cannot do)
- Corruption or side effects of overuse

### Internal Consistency Rules
List 5 absolute rules that govern this magic. These must never be broken, even by the most powerful practitioner.
