The Laid-Off Cheat-Granting Mage Enjoys a Second Lease on Life

Rein spent years enhancing his guildmates’ gear with magic, only to be expelled the moment he enchanted everything. Unfazed, Rein steals back his magic, pours it into his own sword, and makes the best of his newfound freedom as he sets off as an adventurer. Along the way, Rein gathers a band of fellow outcasts and together they fight monsters and carve out their place in an enchanted world.

My take

A fired corporate mage gets a second chance when mysterious powers let him grant wishes in unconventional ways. It's a heartwarming fantasy comedy about redemption, found family, and discovering that sometimes breaking the rules is the only way to fix things.
