Magitecnica - The Use and Misuse of Powers Great and Small
A downloadable game zine
Being a volume of powers and rules and spells for use with the SDM roleplaying system and the UVG undying earth trail setting.
Loosely compatible with most OSR roleplaying games that use levels (or hit dice, as some named them) and life scores (or hit points, as the ancients knew them).
Includes:
- cutaway map of the shiptower Haruspex, captained by the wizard Vorus, for when you need a fantasy sorsciencer's tower. Also in high resolution.
- 25 magitechnical powers in 4 albums, including the blood bullet gun fu of the Viridian Practice and the travel powers of the Dawn's Highway.
- original and reused illustrations by the author. Purportedly some are rather nice.
- cryptic in-world fictions. Terrible purple prose. Just the way you like it.
- rules for using powers fueled by characters' lives (or hit points).
- mechanics for creating new powers.
- corruption tables for mutating characters when they misuse powers.
Digital softcover, electronic staples included, 48 pages.
Deadwood print edition available exclusively at Exalted Funeral.

I recently purchased a digital + physical copy of Magitecnica from Ratti Incantati. However, the digital copy seems to be an earlier ("Tessellated Edition v1.0 Lotus") draft that's missing stuff from the finished ("Stratometaedition v.1.0 Teal Rufus") book... For example, the cutaway 3D map view that's found in the physical book's inside back papers. I checked with RI and with Exalted Funeral who both say the "Tessellated [...] Lotus" is all they have.
Anyway, I'm wondering, was that as intended... ? Can I only buy a digital "Stratometaedition [...] Teal Rufus" copy via Itch or Drivethru? Please let me know, when you've a few moments.
All the best!
p.s., Magitecnica is awesome. Thank you.
Heyya! Just saw now. I must have forgotten to upload the lastest lastest version to itch.io. My bad! The last couple of years with the kids ... my brain's all over the place. Thank you for letting me know.
Kids will do that :) Many thanks, Sir! I'll follow-up with Ratti Incantati or Exalted Funeral in the next couple days. So excited for OGA too! Great work on this front as well. Kudos. -- Best regards, Kevin
Hi again, Luka. And, thanks again for your message from early January. I just heard back from Exalted Funeral, who indicated the version in Bits & Mortar was maybe updated ~2+ weeks ago. They sent me a link and I downloaded it.
But, it looks to be the same file as previously. At least, it's missing the important cutaway 3D map view (that's found in the physical book's inside back papers) and other illustrations.
Please let me know if you can directly share the latest version by email to me c/o <redacted> or if you prefer to simply upload it to B&M.
Also, kudos again on all your great work on OGA. Looking forward to receiving the Gold Box (in due course).
Best regards!
I have this both in print and in PDF. Both are beautiful! This book offers a wonderful resource of all things magical for use with Ultraviolet Grasslands. Definitely makes the UVG experience richer!
Thank you, and may I complement you on the very tasteful avatar. ^_^
Thank you! I'm quite fond of Patrick Nagel. :)
Thank you for reminding me of the artist's name! It had slipped my mind ^^
