The Rise of “Shadow Daddies” in Romantasy—Or, How We’ve Been Here Before

When Magic Goes Too Far: Spells That Got Way Out of Hand
Magic is the ultimate tool for bending reality to your will—until it bends back.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve come across all sorts of magical systems while reading, and it’s impossible not to notice how different authors put their own spin on it. Some like to map out every single rule and consequence (Sanderson, I’m looking at you), while others leave magic as a mysterious force we just have to trust (Tolkien, we’re all still guessing).
