I've been working on a story called SpellCaster for quite sometime and only recently had time to revisit it. I'm trying to world build here, and I'd like a little feedback. This is just a little backstory stuff I'm trying to work out for his world, such as how magic works and such. I've actually already written much of the first book in this trilogy. (I'm shooting for a trilogy, it may not be.) So anyway, this isn't supposed to give you a full explanation of what the story is about or anything. Just your thinking on what I've written here. If you have any questions or you don't understand, please feel free to ask for more information.
This basically deals with how the main character acquired her powers:
Spellcaster Series
Madrigal is a world controlled by magic. It is everywhere and Influences everything. It is studied there and treated as we do science, except not everyone is capable of controlling the Magical forces of the world. The people who are, are all called Spellcasters. In this world ALL Spellcasters are male, but not all males are Spellcasters. There are two exceptions to this rule. The Sorceress and The Emissary are the only two females in Madrigal known to be able to control actual magic. They are also without exception the two most powerful Spellcasters in Madrigal.
The Sorceress and the Emissary are most likely related by blood. The Emissary is usually, but not always the first female child born to a generation after the previous Sorceress has assumed her role. For Instance, Aeryn and Trina are cousins born about a year apart. Aeryn is the Emissary because she was born first. If Aeryn dies BEFORE she becomes the Sorceress, Trina will inherit that role. If Aeryn becomes the Sorceress. then the FIRST female born into that family will become the next Emissary.
