If you plan to write fantasy or science fiction, a great resource will be tabletop games. There is so much you can learn from the structure provided for gameplay, and especially for the magic and tech systems. Each system comes with pre-built structure, limitations, and capabilities. Even without directly copying those systems, you can still learn a lot through learning and studying how they work in order to create a complete and well-built magic structure of your own.
