Re: Re: How do you explain magic?
I think the key with magic systems is that they work for your story as well as as a magic system (hmm... that sentence is really bad).

If adding more limitations prevents you telling your story then don't add them. Of course you don't want to make the system seem convenient to the plot so there is a skill in blending it in.
