I think the best magic systems always have a cost. Blood or body for power. Memories for untapped knowledge. Years of life for a single wish. The best "spells" are never free.
Anything given too easily is never worth the price, whether that is mortally based or morality based.

I broke through my writing block. Turns out all I had to do was rework my plot!
So...despite postponing the release of Ruins of a Shattered Dawn, I am back to writing it. I have 17 chapters of a battle to go through, then 3 devastatingly final chapters

Perhaps grimdark has grown as much as it has because the world has become more cynical and hope feels foolish at times.
Many people are living in perpetual shitty situations, and I think relateability plays a factor.
Additionally, I tend to find characters in grimdark books have more depth.
