Does magic require painstakingly memorized spells, or candles and herbs? Is it powered by nature, by gods, by the wielder’s own life energy? There are as many kinds of magical systems as there are books that feature magic. In this event, you’ll hear about how these fantasy authors developed magic systems for their books.

Featuring Evan Winter, Andrea Stewart, M. A. Carrick, and Gareth Hanrahan
