Warlock HolmesSeries

This series reimagines a world where a magically powerful but comically inept detective tackles supernatural mysteries in Victorian London. He relies heavily on his brilliant and capable companion to navigate both arcane threats and social proprieties. The stories blend the classic detective genre with dark fantasy and humor, offering a fresh and often hilarious take on familiar tropes. It's a delightful exploration of deduction versus raw, demonic power, all wrapped in a charmingly anachronistic package.

Specifically that of the sorcerer Xantharaxes, who when shredded and dissolved in an 8% solution, results in some extremely odd but useful prophetic dreams.
