Publisher's Synopsis
The series takes place in the American city of Excelsior[1] (shot in Vancouver, [2] modeled on San Francisco), [3] in a world where science was never "invented", and instead of using "oil, electricity, [and] coal", mankind relies on plant- and fire-powered magic to run society.[4] The police of Excelsior's 17th Precinct use spells to collect evidence and information, they defend themselves with "magic discs", [5] and they psychically access "the stream" (a smokey light beam) for information, printouts, and newspapers.
