Why did you decide not to do this in Arcrea? The tricky part is learning to include elements of fantasy without the magic!Īlong the same lines, most Christian fantasy authors use an allegory for the Gospel - they make up another name for God, another way to refer to Christ, etc. My hope is that, as a result, readers will see clear examples of spiritual growth in their favorite heroes/heroines so that they're encouraged in their own walk with Christ. I believe God is very clear in His Word regarding His opinion of witches/wizards and witchcraft, and His power is so much greater anyway! In short, I see it as a choice to have my characters rely on their own man-made strengths (with questionable origins), or on the power of God (through prayer, faith, etc.). One simple reason is that I don't like magic and mysticism. Why did you choose to avoid magic rather than going the traditional way?
