So magic in my story's setting works like cyberpunk hacking. Most magic has to be performed by channeling the ethereal plane through meditation, sort of like how hackers in cyberpunk settings have to jack into the matrix.
Hacking CCTV or somebody's cyber-eyes? Scrying.
Surfing the matrix? Astral projection.
Programming AI? Constructing a tulpa.
It goes on, but this is what I keep in mind when making boundaries to what magic can and cannot do. So a wizard can't cast a fireball in the heat of a fight, but he could meditate in his chamber and attack someone's soul.
Aesthetically, it has nothing to do with cyberpunk and is more or less identifiable as medieval/early gunpowder fantasy.
Good or nah?

Fantastic, I just started the first chapter in epic fantasy series that should go on for about 5 books, not counting spin-offs. I'm going to be the next GRRM, just you wait.
This is my first time trying to write a narrative since junior high school btw.
