Rick Cook · 5 novels · 1989–1996
Wizardry is Rick Cook's comic fantasy series that begins with Wizard's Bane (1989), continuing through The Wizardry Compiled, The Wizardry Cursed and The Wizardry Consulted to The Wizardry Quested. It follows a computer programmer pulled into a magical world, who discovers that spells behave like code and starts building programming tools to hack the local system of magic. The 'Wiz Biz' omnibus titles collect these same novels rather than adding new story.
