This Spells Disaster

The way spells work and the rules around them kept me intrigued. I'm curious whether the author developed this magic system from scratch or was inspired by other stories.

This story manages to be lighthearted while also exploring identity and love. Did the tone evolve naturally during writing or was it a conscious choice from the start?

The characters' relationships felt sweet and genuine, but I wondered if there was room to explore their backgrounds more. What did others think about the character development?
