What is the best magic system in fiction?
In the past couple of months, the polls that go into semifinal rounds seem to really have the wind taken out of their sails, so I'm trying to combat that effect by having the semifinal turnover be extra fast and run the final poll only for a little over a week. Maybe by keeping the whole thing contained in the original month, we can keep the energy up.
That means our first semifinal round is almost over already. Tomorrow we'll tabulate results and put up the new poll.
Everyone will get four votes (4). The top five names of each poll will go on to the final round. Before you simply vote for your favorite four, consider that, as there is no ranking of those four votes; each vote beyond one dilutes the power of your choices a little more. So if you have a genuine favorite–or pair of favorites–it's better to use as few votes as possible.
The poll itself is on the left side, at the bottom of the side menus.
