Magic Example

As I did for the action/ fight scenes, I am going to add a selection from my work in progress. However, I am going to add a couple of shorter selections to show different ways to go about portraying magic (and so that you do not have to read something as long as what I posted last time). I hope you enjoy them!

• The gem in her hands, she closed her eyes and fell into the dance of the magic. Once she was certain that there would be no traps or backlashes, she opened her eyes to watch the movements of the component spells. Small black-purple threads connected each star-like point, and she looked around to find a marker that would give the power of the caster. After fifteen minutes with no success, she let herself back out of the spell and unraveled it, watching it fall from the gem and disappear like the morning mist.
   
• Standing up, she held her left hand out so that the palm was facing upward. The spell that she pooled there was golden in the realm of time, and she tipped her hand so that it trickled like water to the ground, cascading in ripples along the fabric of time.
