Magic Burner is an expansion for the Burning Wheel RPG. The first part of the book explores magic in society and breaks down traditional magical archetypes using examples from classic fantasy literature (Tolkien, Le Guin, and more). The bulk of the book is dedicated to individual magical approaches.

The book features around thirty "lifepaths," such as magic universities, death cults, necromancers, and more. You will also find magical artifacts, including guides on how to integrate them into your game and how characters can acquire them. Finally, the Magic Burner itself serves as a toolkit for creating your own custom magic system.
