My book comparison is about the //The Innocent Mage//, compared to my region Durainia. There isn’t that much to compare but I shall try my best to compare what I can. Well in the book I read, magic is gained by birth. Not everyone has magic with in the world. In the town of Olken you cannot use magic at all unless you are the king, or something bad will happen. In Durainia that works the same way, some people are born with magic, and some are born without magic but people can use magic within towns, and cities. The magic systems are different between the book, and Durainia. One thing I wanted to use from the book was part of the magic system from the kings can control the weather. I thought that it would be an amazing thing to put in my region I’m still debating about it right now. Durainia has a magic system with pacts so the two are different. In the book, Asher is from a town far away from the kingdom while my character in Durainia lives at a castle city. The cult of Noberon in Durainia is sort of based off of the circle from //The Innocent Mage//. When I read about the circle I thought that they were a cult trying to kill Asher. As I kept reading, I found out that they were actually a group trying to preserve the magic in Olken. I thought about an almost Opposite group, but changed a lot of stuff.
