[Suzerain of Sheol]

Well, my main concern would be that in a visual medium, they wouldn't be able to make the magic as big of a deal as it is in the books. Do you understand what I'm saying? Like, they wouldn't have the screen time to focus on how magic works, since there's so very much story to tell.

I don't think I've ever seen a fantasy movie that makes a big deal out of applied magic. Has anyone here? It's usually just special effects without much of an explanation, in my experience.

And granted, I think they could do it that way, it's just that the magic system is one of the cooler things about the books and what sets them apart from other epic fantasy series.
