Figured out why some plot bunnies are not forming a plot.
If you have an idea about a hero who has to go through various kinds of magic and discover which one will solve a problem -- well, I know what the problem is. I know what the type of magic is. I even have some other types to mislead him.
The problem is that there has to be some system to plot them so he knows it's exhaustive. Also, I don't like random laundry lists of odd-ball magics.
Hmmm -- I may have specialists in light magic and darkness magic, and then generalists.
