Cardtrick Stories

*This is an unedited work in progress* Nicoletta wants to learn magic, but is afraid of being bullied. Her best friend is chronically ill, and can no longer protect her when she gets into trouble. Fearing a year of being laughed at and shunted aside, Nicoletta resigns herself to being the class fool. Until she finds the diary of a young magician, Nikolai Roberts, who performed at the Thames Fancy Fair in 1852.

Thousands of years ago, the ancients destroyed civilization with five schools of magic. Each spell comes at a terrible price. Glamor charms your adversaries, rotting your body from the inside. Divination reveals faraway secrets, exposing your own secrets to others. Automation gives objects the spark of life, destabilizing the climate. Vivomancy can heal or change living things, with bizarre side effects. Blast your enemies with Negation energy, forming permanent clouds of deadly fallout. As a young scrounger of antiquities, you hope to build your ruined world anew with these rediscovered spells. Now you must decide which of these magics can transform your post-apocalyptic society, and what you'll risk to bring hope and light to your kinsmen.
