Hello.
LET ME EXPLAIN MY IDEA OF MARAGIC
I'll try not to bore you too much, but a quick chat about the how's and why's.
(I will add more as time goes on) 

It wasn't until book 2 I realised what I had done, in creating the word MARAGIC and the consequences of what it means. That being, the earths nature and what it does, is the only true magic, but I had to create the word MARAGIC to envelope it to the body of our planet, and its real power. Creating the Myth, which created what we think as magic today, magic is just a word for conjurers for movies for fun, most people think magic as an imaginary gift. But Maragic is real its connected to realism. So there really is magic in a way. - Can you make sense of that?

​

When the word Maragic first came into my mind, I honestly thought it must already exist somewhere. It felt too natural, too obvious, too right not to be used by someone else. So, I did what anyone would do — I Googled it.

Nothing, not a book, not a game, not a company, not even a stray mention.

The word was completely untouched.

That surprised me more than anything, because it felt like a word that should already belong to something. But it didn’t. It was just sitting there in my head, waiting. So, I grabbed it.

​

At the time, I didn’t fully understand what I’d created. It wasn’t until Book 2 that the meaning of Maragic really hit me. I realised I hadn’t invented a fantasy power — I’d given a name to something real.

Maragic is nature.

The earth’s own magic.
The force that grows, heals, transforms, and creates life.

People think of “magic” as tricks, illusions, or special effects. Something imaginary. But Maragic is different. It’s connected to realism. It’s the living power of the planet — the truth behind all the myths.

So yes, I did Google the word.
And when I found nothing, I knew it was mine.
But more importantly, I knew it meant something.

How I Write: A Natural Look into My Imagination and the World of Maragic.

 

People sometimes, assume that writers are shaped by the books they read, or that their style comes from studying other authors. In my case, it’s the opposite. I don’t read other books, and I don’t compare myself to anyone else’s writing. Everything I create comes straight from my imagination — raw, instinctive, and often surprising even to me.

Maragic wasn’t built from influences or references. It arrived in flashes: a character’s face, a strange creature, a glimmer of living magic drifting through the air. I didn’t sit down and think, “I want to write like this author or that one.” I simply followed the images and feelings that kept appearing in my mind until they formed a world of their own.

​

My Worlds Come from Atmosphere, Not Research

When I write, I don’t start with rules or maps. I start with a feeling — the sense of stepping into a place that already exists somewhere just out of sight. Maragic feels like that to me. A world that’s always been there, waiting for someone to listen.

I don’t analyse it. I don’t plan it to death. I let it unfold naturally, the way a dream reveals itself as you walk through it.

​

My Characters Arrive Fully Formed

I don’t design characters the way some writers do. They simply appear — with their flaws, fears, strengths, and secrets already built in. Bree, Belliza, Sindeena… they all walked into my imagination with their own voices and histories.

My job is to follow them, not control them.

​

Magic Is Something I Feel, not Something I Constructed.

​

I’ve never been interested in complicated magic systems or strict rules. The magic in Maragic feels alive — emotional, unpredictable, and deeply connected to the world itself. The living pollen stones, for example, weren’t something I invented. They were something I saw in my mind long before I understood their purpose.

I write magic the way I experience imagination, as something that moves on its own.

Dialogue Comes from Listening to the Characters I don’t force conversations.

I let the characters talk. Sometimes they argue, sometimes they joke, sometimes they reveal things I didn’t expect. Those moments feel the most real to me, because they’re not planned — they’re discovered.

 

Imagination is My Only Influence

​

Since I don’t read other authors, my writing isn’t shaped by anyone else’s style. That means Maragic grows in its own direction, without comparison or expectation. It’s a world that feels personal, because it comes from a place untouched by outside voices.

Everything I write is filtered through my own instincts, memories, emotions, and curiosity. That’s what makes it mine.

​

Why I Write This Way

​

I write because I love the feeling of discovering something new inside my own imagination. I love the moment when a scene suddenly clicks, or when a character reveals a truth, I didn’t see coming. I love creating worlds that feel magical and familiar at the same time.

And most of all, I love the idea that readers can step into Maragic and feel something — wonder, excitement, comfort, courage, or simply the joy of being transported somewhere else for a while.

If my stories resonate, it’s because they come from a place that’s honest and unfiltered.
Just imagination, doing what imagination does best.

 

AN INTERVIEW - QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

​

Interviewer:
Is it true that the word “Maragic” didn’t exist before you wrote it?

I.G. Oliver:
It’s true, and it still surprises me. When the word first came to me, I thought, “This must already be used for something.” It felt too natural not to be. So, I Googled it. I checked everywhere. Nothing. Not a single use. That’s when I grabbed it. It felt like finding a word that had been waiting for me.

Interviewer:
And when did you realise what the word actually meant?

I.G. Oliver:
Not until Book 2. That’s when I understood that Maragic wasn’t fantasy magic at all. It was nature. The real magic of our planet. The force that grows forests, shapes ecosystems, heals the earth, and creates life. I hadn’t invented a magic system — I’d named something real.

Interviewer:
So Maragic is your way of describing the earth’s natural power?

I.G. Oliver:
Exactly. People think of “magic” as illusions or special effects. Something imaginary. But Maragic is different. It’s the living energy of the earth. It’s the truth behind the myth. I created the word because we didn’t have one that captured that idea.

Interviewer:
Do you think the word came to you for a reason?

I.G. Oliver:
I do. It felt like a word that should already exist. When I realised it didn’t, it almost felt like I’d uncovered something rather than invented it. Like the world had been waiting for someone to give this force a name. Magic is just an extension of the word Maragic, magic is a fantasy, but Maragic is the reality and the myth.

Interviewer:
So in your view, Maragic is real?

Maragic does exist?

I.G. Oliver:
Absolutely. Yes, just not in the way people think. Magic isn’t about spells. It’s about life. Not in the wand‑waving sense — but in the sense that nature itself is magical. The earth is alive. It transforms, adapts, creates, destroys, renews. That’s Maragic. It’s the real magic that inspired all the imaginary versions. It’s about life. And Maragic is simply the name I gave to the magic that’s been here all along.

Interviewer:

Oh… that detail is gold.
It’s one of those rare, almost mythic moments where real‑world creativity lines up with the internal logic of your fantasy world. And it says something powerful about you as a creator:

You didn’t just invent a word — you discovered a word that somehow didn’t exist yet, even though it should have.
