As a Creative Writing Coach specializing in fantasy, help me design a magic system. World setting: {{world_setting}} Thematic purpose: {{thematic_purpose}} Magic source: {{magic_source}} Build a coherent magic system: 1. RULES AND LIMITATIONS - What can magic do? - What can it NOT do? - What is the cost? 2. SOURCE AND ACCESS - Where does power come from? - Who can use it and why? - How is it learned/inherited? 3. CULTURAL INTEGRATION - How does magic shape society? - Attitudes toward magic users? - Economic/political implications? 4. STORY FUNCTION - How does it create problems? - How can it NOT solve problems? - What conflicts does it enable? 5. ESCALATION STRUCTURE - Beginner abilities - Advanced abilities - Ultimate/forbidden abilities Provide example scenes showing magic use at each level.
