Everyday Magic
Three hundred years ago, the world was struck by the Cataclysm, but civilization recovered, rebuilt. Slowly but surely, a mix of magic and technology revived a dead planet. All was well until a young mage's power went out of control, causing rampant destruction. The Vigau Incident. After that, magic was banned, setting back progress once again. The Witch-hunters seek out and apprehend any who dare to defy the Mage Ban, but a few manage to keep their practice secret. Among them is Giger Taus, a rogue sorcerer who commits the double sin of not only wielding magic but also researching into the forbidden lost technology from before the Cataclysm. While he tries to correct the tragedy of the Vigau Incident and unlock the mystery of the Cataclysm, powerful forces conspire against him. Can he uncover the truth before it is too late?
