I don't really understand the wording my universe has magic but it not the energy of the world
language
A magic system is, basically, just there to explain how the magic in your world works. What governs it (deities, energy, etc)? What are its drawbacks (exhaustion, madness, etc)? What are its effects (healing, offense, etc)? Why does it work (because the gods wish it so, because the universe is magic, etc)? Stuff like that.
You don’t necessarily have to have one. It’s just part of worldbuilding. It helps organize what magic is and does in your world, and if you have a lot of magic, it can definitely help with avoiding mixups or forgetting what this or that spell does.
