Setting Idea:
A modern fantasy world where street signs are powerful magic sigils. When the red stoplight glows, it forcibly holds your car in place, and when you pass a school crossing, conjured will-o-wisps drift back and forth to lead children safely across the street. Highways are lined with runic instructions, sending out pulses that direct the flow of traffic.
In this world, hacker mages race their motorcycles through the network of glyphs, competing to be the fastest, to steal and move illegal goods, to test their knowledge of vehicular magic.
