The Missing Magic

Write about a world where magic is a mundane, everyday part of life and a character who realises they’d rather live without it.

In this prompt, you’re challenging the fantasy genre’s common fascination with the extraordinary. What happens when magic is so commonplace that it becomes ordinary? And what does it say about a character who chooses a life without magic, discovering comfort in the mundane? This allows exploration into the themes of reality versus fantasy, the grass-is-greener syndrome, and a deeper look into personal choices and their consequences.
