Brandon Sanderson tickles that itch for me. His Mistborn series is really fun and has some rudimentary magitech without really spoiling anything - all of the magic works in specific ways but how people interact with it changes over time as people learn new (mostly martial) techniques. His Stormlight series has a system of magical doodads that ultimately evolves into full-on magitech, in addition to the kind of magic ninja stuff of Mistborn. Oh also magic mechsuits.

I agree 99%. I just wouldn't describe the Mistborn series as fun. (I'd say the first first 3 Mistborn books are among his more depressing books. I still recommend them because they are great in other ways.)

magic mechsuits

you mean shardplate?

[-] anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah doesn't it augment your strength a little or something?

[-] bort@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

yes, sure. But I would have counted those as "regular magic".

[-] anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah sure those are magical artifacts like the little doodads but later in the series they start using the doodads in innovative ways
