Somewhere in your city, there's a licensed combustion stairwell. A Thursday-night stall that sells the last five minutes of a memory. A planning committee quietly rezoning a ley-line before the morning rush. Urban fantasy lives in the collision between paperwork and wonder - and this is the toolkit that gets it onto the page.

1,000 prompts across 50 themed chapters, covering:

  • Cities that act like characters - neighbourhoods, night markets, liminal corners, and the infrastructure magic runs on
  • The people who move through them - reluctant mages, magical PIs, street witches, techno-mancers, exiled fae
  • The institutions that regulate them - magic police, covens, black markets, arcane universities, zoning wars
  • The supernatural that haunts them - vampires, fae courts, ghosts, demons, industrial spirits, techno-faiths
  • The stories they generate - heists, case-of-the-week, gang wars, city-scale conspiracies, redemption arcs
  • The real craft on offer isn't the prompt - it's the move underneath it. Every chapter trains the same skill: taking a generic idea (a stranger sells something strange at a night market) and loading it with enough specificity - a real street, a real licence, a real reason someone stops tonight - that a whole scene falls out ready to write.
