You may have heard that a fantasy story is only as good as its main villain, but this is not true. A fantasy story is only as good as the spells its protagonists can throw at its main villain. When it comes to wild, whacky and intricate magic systems, fantasy has some fine contenders. Magic that comes from eating metals, sorceries that stem from saying names, wizardry that wafts in from parallel dimensions, it’s all here! These are ten fantasy books with the best magic systems, to enchant the inner enchanter in you!
Mistborn
(Tor Books)When it comes to making up captivating magic systems, Brandon Sanderson quite literally wrote the book. He’s the author of Sanderson’s Laws of Magic, which popularized the terms “hard magic” and “soft magic” in the fantasy genre. Gandalf’s nebulous wizard powers? Soft magic. The magic in a Sanderson novel? Rock hard – centered around physics, limits and rules. There’s no better example than “Allomancy,” the magic that abounds in his Mistborn saga. This magic revolves around the consumption of elemental metals – when certain metals are eaten by a person with the genetic predisposition toward Allomancy, they gain supernatural abilities for a certain amount of time. Chowing down on the Periodic Table offers a variety of perks, including magnetism, clairvoyance and time manipulation. When you and your no good gang of street thieves are set on breaking into the palace of the most powerful man in the world, you’ll need all the magical abilities you can get. Eat up.
