Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })An urban fantasy series by Benedict Jacka.Alex Verus runs a magic shop in London, and he's a diviner. His magic lets him see the probability of future events, predicting what'll happen by seeing the various possibilities ahead of him. It makes him very good at finding things out, but not so good when it comes to brute force. As a result, he tends to get approached by other mages, who are less good at finding things out but who possess an abundance of brute force which they're more than willing to use if they don't get their way.The twelfth and final book was released in 2021. Fated (2012) Cursed (2012) Taken (2012) Chosen (2013) Hidden (2014) Veiled (2015) Burned (2016) Bound (2017) Marked (2018) Fallen (2019) Forged (2020) Risen (2021)There's also a series of articles about the world and setting called the Encyclopaedia Arcana which can be found on the author's website here.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Wave-Motion Gun | |
| Alex Verus / int_263bb4ec | comment |
Accumulators, magical devices that drain ambient magic out of the air to then massively amplify a spell cast through them, strong enough to turn a simple light spell into a Wave-Motion Gun capable of leveling a fortress. Problem is, they take almost twenty minutes to charge under ideal conditions and the charging process is incredibly noticeable and thus an enemy will have more than enough time to stop it. Oh, and they're highly illegal under the Concord. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Alex Verus / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: In Veiled, Alex notes that, up until the 16th century, many mages created towers as their headquarters and saw them as a status symbol. Then cannons came along and they discovered that those two don't mix very well.

Artificial Intelligence | |
| Alex Verus / int_60e2ec3e | comment |
Artificial Intelligence: As of Forged, Alex has befriended November, a being that is a sentient AI merged with magic. Levistus had been using it as a database for the blackmail he had on the other council members. | |

Asshole Victim | |
| Alex Verus / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: Tobruk, the fourth apprentice Richard took on. Alex says that while there are many things that he regrets from his time as Richard's apprentice, killing the evil prick was one thing he was glad to have done. | |

Armor-Piercing Attack: This is why Life mages are considered scarier than the average mage. Their life magic and Touch of Death can get through an elemental mages shields, as if they weren't there. | |
