The Last Horizon	comment	Archmage Varic Vallenar, heir of the Vallenar Corporation, cast a grand and unspeakably expensive ritual to do the impossible: Empower himself with the magical abilities of his alternate selves, making him a master of more magic than anyone else in history. The ritual works, but they got more than they bargained for—Varic remembers six entire lives, including five gruesome deaths.While Varic is now the greatest wizard the galaxy has ever seen, and he does an excellent job of using his future knowledge to nip numerous problems in the bud, he knows that it won't be enough. He has knowledge of five coming apocalyptic threats, none of which he can truly resolve on his own. Killing cybernetic undead kings and blasting star-eating bugs just kicks the can down the road.But then he hears rumors that the most famous piece of Zenith tech has been found. There are puzzles that he, as an archmage with the perspectives of six disciplines, might be the only person who can solve. If he can follow the trail, he might find an ancient starship. The first starship, the ship of heroes that fights fleets and rescues entire star systems.A ship called The Last Horizon.The Last Horizon is a series of science fantasy novels by Will Wight. The first book, The Captain, was released in April 2023.

The Last Horizon / int_1994ba0b	comment	Gone Horribly Right: The grand ritual was supposed to give Varic the magic of his alternate selves. It did... in addition to the full memories of his alternate selves.

The Last Horizon / int_39b8d3d6	type	Boring, but Practical
The Last Horizon / int_39b8d3d6	comment	Boring, but Practical: One of Varic's most common tricks is just basic telekinesis. Apparently, most of the time telekinesis isn't actually all that useful, but his jaw-dropping skill lets him, for example, catch bullets.

The Last Horizon / int_48ca7c29	comment	Broken Ace: The main cast all qualify as this. Varic has died in crushing failure five times, Raion lost most of his friends and can barely summon his Divine Titan anymore, there's a reason why Sola is known as the Fallen Sword, Horizon is stuck in a never ending cycle of finding and losing her crew, Queen Shyrax has been deposed, and there are hints that Omega and Mell are the way they are for good reason. They're also all impossibly awesome.

Varic only knows about them because in one of his lives, they pushed too hard and caused a civil war. Varic finally manages to talk Omega around when he remembers that in that timeline, Omega was fighting hard against the conspiracy.

Each time a member is added their color is added to Horizon's holographic projection.

The Last Horizon / int_9203bf6	comment	Arc Number: Seven is a very important number in magic, so it shows up quite often in multiple contexts. In Varic's ritual, if everything went perfectly he would have gained the experience of seven lives total (they were expecting four, hoping for five, and got six), and Horizon's eyes are seven-pointed stars.

He demonstrates how completely useless the curriculum of "teach them a bunch of combat spells, then send them out" is when his class proves utterly incapable of protecting themselves from rain. He tries to teach them how to use their current spells to be more flexible, but the school's director has him suspended for straying from the curriculum.

In each of his five other lives, he remembers failing to stop a galaxy-ending threat, and there's little sign that these are the only such threats. After he solves the problems he knows about, he becomes a bit paranoid about everything else that could be lurking out there.

Varic tried to warn his father that the corpse of an Iron King was too dangerous to keep, but Benri ignored him. Varic tried to explain to the Galactic Union that their combat curriculum was insufficient, but was suspended. By that point, he gave up. Averted when Benri tells his ships's crew to shut up and follow Varic's pathfinding spell because he knows that Varic knows what he's doing.

It is the oldest and greatest starship in existence, the ideal that every other one strives for. It has incredible speed, weapons, shields, teleportation abilities, and even terraforming. ...when she has a crew. She gains power from her crew, so when she's alone, she can't do anything, and when she has only her captain she can't do much more than fly.

Considering it's supposed to be impossible to be archmage level in more than one discipline, this makes him the most powerful wizard in history.

The Last Horizon / int_fceae121	comment	Alternate Self: Using his father's Doppelgänger Attack spell heightened to epic levels, Varic tries to steal the magical abilities from alternate lives. This is specifically described as possibilities and probabilities, not true other selves from alternate universes. Unfortunately, they didn't anticipate that the ritual would work too well; Varic wakes up not just with the power of his alternate selves, but the full memories of six lives. Oh, and the other five were from at least a few years in the future, so he also remembers the various apocalypses that are going to be visiting the galaxy soon.
