For those who don't know the history. Paula and I created the WarSpell Multiverse several years ago. The basic premise is that on an unspecified December 30th an event occurred. We know what the event was but we've never put it in a book I don't think. The results of that event were first that suddenly the magic of a fictional RPG started working in the "real" world.
In this case RPG means "Role Playing Game" not "Rocket Propelled Grenade"
Anyway. The second result was that, at the same time, players of that RPG and any others that had magic similar enough to work got the memories and abilities of one of the players they'd played. Mostly those memories integrated into the person quite well. This came to be called the Merge. Games that are similar enough include Runequest, Dungeons and Dragons GURPS, and several others. This was called the Merge and it left the earth with around ten million people who suddenly had two sets of memories and whole sets of abilities that most people didn't have. Some of those folks could do magic and some brought their gods with them. As you can imagine not everyone reacted well to this.
The third result was that the Merge worked both ways. When the players on earth got the memories and abilities of the characters they played, the characters got the memories and abilities of the people who played them.
That meant that on millions of game worlds there were one two or a few people who suddenly had memories and abilities of people from earth. That might seem minor until you recall that we tend to know a lot of stuff and live in a world full of ideas that they don't have on game worlds. Everything from sterilizing wounds to making gunpowder. From basic economic theory to the bill of rights. Equality before the law to the shape of an air foil.
On some of those worlds the truths that we hold to be Self evident will be more disruptive than all the fire balls of all the newly made wizards on earth.

This is a story in that multiverse it takes place on earth the merge world and we are giving it to our readers as a Saturnalia present, or Hanukkah present or Christmas present or whatever you happen to celebrate present.
