The Magic of this particular universe seems very well-defined already---which is one of the reasons that I like it so much. I appreciate the fact that the "spells" weren't arbitrary and trite like they are in Harry Potter, for example. There seems to be an appropriate balance of mysticism and science behind the magics of Dragaera. I've always been of the belief that magic must have a set of rules for people to be able to write books about it, pass the learning on to others, and master it. How precise or imprecise is the magic in this story? From what I read, there is the insinuation of a significant amount of thought (and maybe even precision) put into it.
