Reality Access
Perhaps the most weird type of magic outlined here, reality access comes from my own future fantasy campaign, Kelandra. Reality Access is really advanced technology disguised as magic, but not even the sorcerers themselves know this. Kelandra is a fantasy world set inside a huge spaceship. This ship has been travelling for generations, and the culture inside has decayed to a sort of savage swords and sorcery barbarism. The managing artificial intelligence has broken down, but still grants random individuals access to certain functions. This can be functions designed for police and military use, such as lethal or incapacitating attacks, or maintenance functions like force fields or conjuration. Magical ability is essentially random, but practicing your 'magical' abilities usually improves them, so a sorcerer who devotes himself to the art will grow in power, much as they do in other fantasy worlds. Note that channelers also exist in Kelandra - though the real source of their power is the computer, not any gods. Examples and ReferencesThe novel Titan by John Varley, my own Kelandra campaign.
