Hello #WIPWorldBuilders!After falling off the rails last month in the desperate dash to finish my book and send it off to betas, I am now starting a new project and so will try to keep up this month! I& #39;m like 6 days into the research, so haven& #39;t started world building yet!

1) I& #39;m Sifa and my new project is currently unnamed, a retelling of Henry IV Part One with dragons.

It& #39;s a spell you find after delving deep into tomes and causes the caster to say "why didn& #39;t we learn that at school? it& #39;s more interesting than Henry VIII"

2) Yes, there is magic - 3 different magic systems:

- Glyn Dwr& #39;s (to do with spirits?)
- dragon magic which is leaning towards elemental?
- "women& #39;s magic" - aka using embroidery to make powerful charms

I haven& #39;t got any further yet!

#WIPWorldBuilders

OK, needed a few days for research and planning (and life), BUT had a magic system break through in the mean time, so time to return to this thread and catch up!

3) Manipulating people with magic is forbidden, but generally magic itself isn& #39;t forbidden, but how its accessed is. I& #39;m thinking [Glyn Dwr]& #39;s will be, something based off demons, given the argument he has with Hotspur in the play!

4) Magic can& #39;t be regulated, really, as it& #39;s the dragons who bring the magic. Hard to regulate something to do with independent creatures who can just fly away!

5) Magic is channelled through will, I think

6) Magic is powered by dragons. Well, dragons bring slack to the threads of magic so they can be accessed.

7) There& #39;s elemental magic, and embroidery magic.
