Mage Among Supers
Dante King
Mage Among Supers follows a mage from a world of magic who is thrust into an Earth where science has created superpowered titans. As the only mage in this world, he uses talismans, spells, and supernatural knowledge to survive and investigate what brought him among the supers. Working as a private investigator alongside a brilliant lawyer and the superpowered heroines of the Offenders team, he hunts his former mentor Fenton Ashbearer — who broke the rules of magic and unleashed magical amulets and biotech horrors — while facing escalating threats from magical creatures, biotech experiments, aliens, and legendary vampires. Science vs. Magic drives every arc.
Progression: Central, explicit magical advancement tiered against a superpower science system. The protagonist is the sole mage in a science-based super world; progression is measured through talisman crafting, spell mastery, geas-bound quests, magical amulet tiers, and knowledge of supernatural lore versus science-enhanced titans. Advancement is explicit: learning new spells, crafting stronger talismans, breaking or fulfilling a geas (compelled hunt for mentor Fenton Ashbearer), uncovering homeworld magic, and leveling up alongside the Offenders superhero team (tech-control, mind-reading, martial arts, arsenal). Each volume escalates the power ceiling — from street-level amulet thugs (Book 2) to biotech genetic horrors (Book 3), alien invasion (Book 4), and bloodsucker vampire armies (Book 5) — requiring new magical tiers and team synergy, making structured magical growth the engine of plot and combat.
