->'' Resist the urge to use magic to solve problems unless you've already explained and shown that aspect of how the magic works. Don't give the heroes a new power whenever they need one, and be very careful about writing laws into your system just so that you can use them in a single particular situation. (This can make your magic seem flimsy and convenient, even if you HAVE outlined its abilities earlier.)''\\
''[...]''\\
''If you're writing a soft magic system, ask yourself "How can they solve this without magic?" or even better, "How can using the magic to TRY to solve the problem here really just make things worse." (An example of this: [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings The fellowship relies on Gandalf to save them from the Balrog. Result: Gandalf is gone for the rest of that book]].)
