Magic is illegal, punishable by death
THE PREMISE
The premise follows a seventeen year old boy named Grant Castillo, and he is the son of the infamous magician, Merlin Castillo. In this world magic is illegal, and using magic is punishable by death. Merlin gets Grant caught into a dilemma involving other magic cartels and the government. Who’s side will Grant take?
SYNOPSIS
Magic is a drug. In other words, it is illegal. The government has abolished magic, or at least, that’s what they thought. Magic cartels trade and produce magic around the nation sold in potions and in pills. Those who perform the unlawful act of magic are called Magicians. The government banned magic due to the danger it is capable of, and the effects of using magic has on your body. And as for the Magicians, they have to be wise, because using magic is punishable by death.
Grant Castillo is the seventeen year old son of infamous Magician, Merlin Castillo, A.K.A,‘The Sorcerer’. All he ever wanted was to prove to his father that he was capable of leading the cartel when it was his time.
Grant is turning eighteen soon, and his father plans to introduce him to the world of magic. He becomes introduced to the responsibility, the danger, and risk it takes to be a Magician. And that makes Grant realize something, he doesn’t want this. He doesn’t want to lead the Castillo cartel, he doesn’t want to be a criminal, and most of all, he doesn’t want to be a Magician.
The worst part about this: He can’t tell his family. If he tells his family, he’ll be a disgrace, shunned, sent away, or even killed.
The Magicians and government officials clash in a battle of bullets and sorcery. The Magicians have been caught, and the government is prepared for another war. This is Grant’s opportunity, who’s side will he take?
MAGIC EXPLAINED
Magic is temporary, and the more potions
Magic can be thought of a form of energy. The more energy you have, the more powerful, too much energy is bad for you. Once you lose your energy, it is a good idea to rest. So, once the potion runs out (energy), it is a good idea to wait a good six hours of rest before you consume more potion.
Magic is extracted from a rare type of dust/powder, typically found in caves. This is mixed with water to create a solution, potion.

So, this is an idea I've been trying to grow. I got the idea from the fact that I love Harry Potter, and the fact that my parents latin dramas about drugs and cartels etc. If I'm 100% honest, I saw something very similar in the Adopt a Plot forums of NaNoWriMo. The project is currently called Magic is a Drug, and it's been developing a lot. I would appreciate it greatly if people could ask me a few questions about the idea, whether it involves the characters, the magic, or anything else. I would also appreciate it if I could get new title suggestions, because 'Magic is a Drug' is a phrase used to promote the television show,"The Magicians."Another suggestion I could get, a new last name for the MC, and possibly a made up word that means the same thing as cartel, but toward magicians. I believe this feedback could help further developing so that for once I could get somewhere. Thank you~
