Magic.exe (Arcane Release Notes)

Tollund only wanted to tidy up magic.
Instead, he accidentally deleted it—and created a world that insists it never existed.

Magic was never meant to be neat. It was loud, unpredictable, and had a terrible sense of humour, much like humanity itself. When Tollund, an unassuming wizard with more patience than flair, cast a spell to erase magic, he thought he was saving everyone.

What he actually created was a world that still wages wars, hoards power, and invents weapons that make firestorms look quaint—only now it does so while claiming to be perfectly rational.

As Tollund stumbles through this strange new reality, he begins to suspect that magic hasn’t vanished at all. It has simply… moved house. Into batteries. Into machines. Into the humming heart of a thing people insist on calling “progress.”

Part satire, part fantasy, and part uncomfortably honest reflection on human folly, Magic.exe asks: if magic and technology are two sides of the same mischievous coin, can anyone ever truly switch it off?

Perfect for readers who like their humour British, their fantasy clever, and their apocalypses slightly ridiculous.
