I took a very large take, and I hope you’ll enjoy!! 😊

Recommendations are very welcome!! 🥰

magic systems in fantasy that resemble and incorporate real or fictional sciences! for the fantastical scientists that want magic inscriptions that feel like coding, alchemy, and magical equations fueling spells!

Ever felt overwhelmed by Quests? Well, we currently (August 1st 2026) have over 100 of them, totaling 4000+ different books. Ofc you’re overwhelmed.

Whether you’ve already worked through the ones on top, or just want more of a challenge, here I’m giving you a list of every book on Pagebound that’s in 3 Quests. Hopefully you’ll find it helpful. NB: Time limited Quests not included. Too much upkeep, sorry.

Enjoy, and happy questing
