Author's powers sounded way too easy. They literally can just scribble something on a piece of paper and it happens. Think the later Author powers should take a serious note from R.L.Stine's Goosebumps(or the movie) - he, as the author, had to wrote an ENTIRE PIECE OF STORY to call back all the antagonists in his past books. An ENTIRE STORY! Not just one simple line of "All the evil characters from my books are returned" or something, and complete with all the elements of a standard story: The opening, development, twist, climax and ending, then a "THE END" to complete the circle and make his magic work - THAT is what the powers of an Author should be presented.

For now, it feels like there's no weight to this responsibility - feels way too stupid easy. Authors should be feeling the weight they have to carry alongside their quill, to know the price they'd have to pay to make their magic work, not wielding it at will.

Thoughts?
