so i need a magic system for my world and i was wondering if this seemed like it was copying too much from Eragon.
So some spells you have to say out loud but as you get stronger in magic you can do some with just a simple motion. the magic weakens you but in a way that relates to the type of magic you used (so if you healed someone your health would decline the amount that their's improved). its a very undeveloped idea because i just came up with it right now but tell me what you think!
