-THIS MANGA IS READ LIKE A TRADITIONAL MANGA, FROM RIGHT TO LEFT-
The final aspect about magic that I played with when developing how it worked was the concepts of chaos and order. I got the idea from another web comic,
Dominic Deegan, who used treated the two as different ways to apply magic. Using spells with chaos applied to them, they became more destructive. However, I wanted to go somewhere else with it, since the main reason DD even used chaos and order was for something a bit
different.
So instead, I went with the idea that chaos and order are two sides of the same coin. Basically, one requires the other to exist. The way chaos and order would work is that chaos spells could be more destructive, while order spells more finite. This also played in well with the incantations, as this is what the third word's purpose was to do. Basically, the third word sets a point on a rather large spectrum, with one end being order and the other being chaos.
This then led me to ANOTHER idea, tieing chaos and order to souls, spirits, and other entities.
