Synthetic Spellcraft [Science Fantasy, Progression, Magitech]

Fate decreed he would never cast a single spell. So he built a machine that could create them all. Born as a duke’s son, one might have expected Felix Rhogard to inherit the powerful magic of his lineage, and become a Spellbreaker like his father. Yet he is nullborn, fated never to wield any magic of his own. That should have been the end of that. Instead, Felix has spent the last four years building something no artificer has ever conceived of: a creation that learned the language of magic through thousands of spell matrices, and can generate a functional spell on demand. He calls it the Grimoire Pretrained Transcriber — GPT, in short. His plans go beyond just that. He intends to build a commercial empire, revolutionise magical theory, and put his creations to practical use out in the field. To achieve this, he must navigate the politics, the institutions, and all the people standing between him and everything he aims to build. The people of the Crownlands have spent nineteen years deciding he doesn’t matter. They’re about to find out what he’s been doing with the time. A science fantasy progression story exploring artificial intelligence, magical research, and the social consequences of disruptive technology. Cover is AI-generated (for now).
