How would you use an invisible hand incapable of even indirect harm in a high fantasy setting with ridiculous powers? [WIP][RT]
A quick pitch for my fiction Sleight of Hand.
The story follows Evel, a street magician whose power is as described in the title. To add to his woes, his affinity is far below average, and he's physically weak after months of malnutrition.
Tired of his situation, he decides to take a big risk and join The Imperium's deadly recruitment trial.
All he can rely on is his mind and creativity as he faces ridiculously powerful opponents.
A few things to keep in mind if you decide to get into it:
Evel isn't a genius, but rather very clever and very adaptable to his surroundings. You can expect him to make mistakes, but also learn from them. He's also very much an underdog due to his extremely poor circumstances. Don't expect him to stumble across a hidden treasure that resolves all of his problems.
The story is very much about making the maximal use of minimum resources.
Another thing to note, is that some aspects of the world may seem irrational at first, (For example, why is a military at war killing off so many recruits instead of using them as fodder?) that get explained throughout.
If you're willing to give it a shot, book 1 is complete and ready to binge, and more are coming. Any feedback is also appreciated.
