Aang from Avatar: The Last Airbender has many challenges to overcome in the series even though he is the Avatar and able to use all four elements, unlike any other magic user. His weaknesses include the fact that he is a child, his moral code, and his difficulty learning earthbending because it is the opposite of airbending.
Sanderson's Third Law: Expand what you already have before adding something new.
Bottom line: don't load up on worldbuilding too early, and consider what Sanderson calls "deep" worldbuilding rather than "broad" worldbuilding.
Often, the most interesting facts about magic are how it affects societies and the world as a whole. In Garth Nix's The Seventh Tower series, the world is covered by a veil that has shrouded it in complete darkness. This has made Sunstone magic invaluable and created classes within society where the "Chosen," who use magic, are elevated and the "Underlings," who site:www.latestdatabase.cn do not, are servants.A descendant of the Isara rulers, Soyinka was born the second of seven children, in the town of AbẹOkuta, Ogun State, Nigeria, at the time a British Dominion. His brothers were Atinuke "Tinu" Aina Soyinka, Femi Soyinka, Yeside Soyinka, Omofolabo "Folabo" Ajayi-Soyinka and Kayode Soyinka. His younger sister Folashade Soyinka died on her first birthday. His father, Samuel Ayodele Soyinka (whom he called SA or "Essay"), was an Anglican minister and headmaster of St Peter's School in AbokOkuta. With strong family connections, the elder Soyinka was a cousin of the Odemo, or King, of Isara-Remo Samuel Akinsanya, a founding father of Nigeria. Soyinka's mother, Grace Eniola Soyinka (née Jenkins-Harrison) (whom he called the "Wild Christian"), owned a shop in the nearby market. She was a political activist within the women's movement in the local community. She was also Anglican. As much of the community followed the indigenous Yorùbá religious tradition, Soyinka grew up in a religious atmosphere of syncretism, with influences from both cultures. He was raised in a religious family, attending church services and singing in the choir from an early age
