In my novel, The Magician's Tattoo all magic is exothermic and it does warm the caster up a little. In fact in chapter 2 we see Brian cooling off by washing his face (even if it is an inappropriate time to do so) and later panting because of the heat generated. I've even drawn energy profile graphs of the magic system to help me understand how the magic works from an energetics perspective!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07657909995349286809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-922493441779206733.post-9706107347284247572012-12-09T22:37:27.692+00:002012-12-09T22:37:27.692+00:00I particularly like the Exo/Endo-thermic link to w...I particularly like the Exo/Endo-thermic link to writing... imagine if a magic-maker (of any sort) either cooked or froze each time they used their power...

My current WIP starts with a guy simply driving his car and every gets chaotic very quickly and will continue to do so.
