The Glass Mage: An Artisanal Progression Fantasy

[Participant in the April 2026 Writathon] Magical glassblower Nuri Shahi is pursuing the pinnacle of his craft. The journey to create a masterpiece of glass detours into exploring magic, delving treacherous Rifts, and dragging his friends into crazy schemes, but he won't let life get him down. Impulsive and resourceful, Nuri treads the fine line between madman and visionary, determined to prove that Glassmaker is a viable path to becoming a superior Mage. What to expect: - Crafting: realistic glassblowing and lampwork - Unconventional applications of glass - Delving into lost and dangerous places - Exploration of magic and intent - Slow burn, non-linear progression: no shortcuts on the road to responsibility - Not grimdark, but dark moments - Lots of light-hearted fun, too! - Join my friends over at the litRPG Forge if you want to discuss my story and others.
