This is much more of a adventure focused book than most of my previous novels, with most of the story involving exploring dangerous uncharted wildernesses and dungeons. This one in particular is most strongly inspired by The Legend of Zelda, and you'll see some obvious Zelda influences in there if you're a fan of the franchise. The story is heavy inspired by Japanese adventure and role-playing games, such as Final Fantasy, Bravely Default, and Ys. The story follows Keras Selyrian, a talented swordsman who begins a journey to seek out the titular Six Sacred Swords. Six Sacred Swords is my first book in the new Weapons and Wielders series. (This self-promotion post was pre-approved by moderators.) If you tend to prefer more whimsical and open-end magic, it's probably not for you. If you enjoy trying to figure out how a magic system can be used in creative ways, you might like this sort of thing. As such, there's a tremendous amount of magic system detail, which may not be fun for everyone. The series has a heavy focus on learning the rules of magic and how to exploit them.

The content of the book is split between dungeon crawling sections - some solo, some with a small group - and sections where the central protagonist is learning magic at a magical academy.

It also has similarities to some shonen anime, most notably Hunter x Hunter. (Amazon is the one that put it on sale, not me.)įor those of you who haven't heard of the book, Sufficiently Advanced Magic is a love letter to Japanese RPGs ('JRPGs') like Final Fantasy, Bravely Default, Tower of Druaga, Tales of Symphonia, Fire Emblem, and Azure Dreams.

Sadly, it only appears to be for the US store right now. Sufficiently Advanced Magic, the first book in my Arcane Ascension series, is currently on sale on the US Kindle store for 1.49.
