The Magic Goes Away

In a prehistoric fantasy world where magic functions as a finite, exhaustible natural resource, centuries of overuse have depleted the global mana supply. Spells are rapidly failing, magical creatures are dying off, and civilizations that depended on sorcery face total collapse. Orolandes, a dispossessed warrior, sets out on a desperate quest across a changing continent to find any remaining source of power before the world is left entirely to mundane brute force.
