And that law is true. Game of Thrones has magic, but the charaters barely understand it and so we barely understand it. (It can't do everyything, lol.) Once is soft magic but used so much for so many things it's hard to accpet, whereas GOT has hard magic, limited in use and rarely used (to an extent). Even Charmed had a sligth better base than Once. The three sisters mostly depend on their preset powers that grow over time. Where as, Regina can probalay do all their powers without a reason why or how she does magic. It can't all just be "Feel angry and magic happens!" Charmed did a good job with magic rules until season 5.

GoT does magic as something most people don't understand because it's not that common.

Buffy's use of magic is the best I've seen so far. Magic is neutral and it's up to the user to do good or bad with it. Also, they need to work really hard to become pros with it, you can't just wave your hand and expect something to happen. Also haven't seen Buffy. >_< Sounds good though!

Has anyone here seen TVD? Thoughts on their branch(es) of magic and how its handled there?
