The Panel: Crafting Magical Worlds
Where
does magic come from? How is it powered? What are its limits? From
Middle-Earth to Bon Temps to Hogwarts, every magical world has its own
answers to these questions. Magical words are complex, each with their
own history and rules. On this panel of four imaginative fantasy authors
from the Space Coast region, fans will get a behind-the-scenes look as
the pros share their creative processes and what drives the development
of--and inspires--these unique fantasy worlds across a range of fantasy
subgenres from epic to urban to horror.
