So here's the deal. Wizards draw their powers from literature, right? The lengthier the book, the stronger their magic. Is it just about having a copy of War and Peace handy or do some try to outsmart the system? Do tomes become more valuable than gold? Do people start writing gargantuan word-salads just to harness more magical might? I imagine black markets for banned books, secretive reading circles, spell-slinging librarians... Write away, my friends.

Imagine roleplayers like DnD fans becoming real-life battle mages because their campaign guides are just so detailed and lengthy. You'd have wizards roleplaying as wizards casting fictional spells that become real—I'd totally roam the earth as a spell-slinging bard!

Not just about length, right? I mean, significance of the text has gotta play a role. Ancient texts, original drafts, lost languages that kinda stuff would be way more potent. Imagine the Mona Lisa of books, you know what I mean? There would be heists and quests all around those pieces.

I can see it now—massive underground libraries with a black market for the most forbidden and powerful books. Society itself could revolve around rare first editions and ancient manuscripts. Magic literary agents would become the most powerful figures, with authors and editors at their sides as high-ranking spell crafters.
