Yes and no. At least in my opinion that is. I've found that in my writing a spell when it's needed is the general thing that works for a lot of things, and it's usually in a magic system that is more found in random imaginative magic system rather than in some form of compunctionary, formulaic magic system. For me, having a plan on my spells and actually planning out the Magical Theory is a bit more structured for me. Granted, if the need arises to invent something magical or a spell that hasn't been figured out quite yet I will do so, but I've almost completely figured out what I'm going to do in regards to the Magic Theory and Structure of the Natural Laws of Magic in my world. So, yeah, no random creating for me, at least not completely random I should say.
