The system: Detailed
The Magic
Too big. You should put ALL the focus on the document merely on the first book. Then, the game detailed become not about book chapters but about the game. Realize that if you design a solid system first, you can then add whatever content you want and make multiple games.
Take my motto to heart: "Dream Big; start small".
I know the feeling of wanting to do everything at once. But I assure you that one book is PLENTY hard to do.
