I spend far too little of my time practicing, and far too much reading webcomics!

Here's one of the webcomics I've been reading;

https://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/sleight-of-hand-cover

Widdershins is a 19th Century world in which magic works. The magic is based on the Seven Deadly Sins, so you have to be careful if setting up a "Sleep" spell that you don't activate Sloth!

Our hero is Sidney Malik, a wizard in training who was expelled from the wizarding school six months ago when a "talent" developed that other people's property would somehow come into HIS possession! (He is completely unaware of the action, and doesn't know WHY things keep ending up in his pockets.) As the story starts, he's barely making money performing as a street magician. Then he comes into possession of something that should have been impossible to steal... and the story begins!

Sounds like a very interesting concept, I will have to check it out!

Another alternate 19th Century world;

Agatha Clay is a put upon student at a university for "mad science."

Over the course of the story, she is revealed to be the child/niece of The Heterodyne Boys, two mad scientists from a line of the most ruthless, dangerous meglomaniacs in a world KNOWN for them! The two guys are actually good guys, who disappeared 16 years ago.


More coming.
Their decendent, Agatha, turns out to be a master mad scientist... and hero!
