#Writing discussion: Magic and "systems"

Lots of people, when they sit down to introduce magic into their story, think about it from a "system" point of view, implying things like rules, predictability, etc. But magic/the supernatural in our world is often very vibes based and unpredictable. Which does your story's "magic" lean towards? Do you think one works better than the other? In what situations and why?

Someone is promoting #Sidechat at my #university. Unsavoury online anecdotes about the app itself aside, unmanaged #anonymous writing walls within such a specific cohort only encourages incivility... Besides, what's the point in making more #campus-oriented #chat platforms? I'd say that since #educational institutions already offer emails, it does not hurt for them to run a chat service (be it #Matrix or #RocketChat) to promote formal (class, research, events...) usage.

welp, half of my students' response papers this week were about the app #Sidechat so I opened an account and am going to lurk.

Wild how the college anonymous posting site never truly goes away, just gets reincarnated...
