Description
The missing half of your magic system has finally arrived. In most fictional worlds, magic is about creation - fireballs, healing spells, enchantments, and divine miracles. But what happens when spells must be stopped, undone, or unraveled? Reverse Magic is the essential guide for writers, worldbuilders, game designers, and storytellers who want to build deeper, more cohesive magic systems. This book introduces a powerful, risk-driven sub-type of magic rooted in deconstruction, not creation - including: ✔️ Cast Jamming - the precise interruption of magic during the casting phase ✔️ Decomposition Magic - the surgical disassembly of fully formed spells at the molecular, arcane, or genetic level ✔️ Logical frameworks for integrating Reverse Magic into fantasy novels, TTRPGs, and game systems ✔️ Detailed breakdowns of risks, limitations, consequences, and recovery ✔️ Tips for building magical societies, political tension, and institutions around unbinding magic ✔️ Compatibility with elemental, divine, psionic, spiritual, or arcane-based magic systems Whether you're a fantasy author writing complex magic duels, a TTRPG designer looking to add new mechanics, or a worldbuilder striving for more realistic magical balance - Reverse Magic fills the void left by conventional spellcasting systems. Creation is only half the equation. This is the guidebook for the other half.
