A timeline of glitches, spells, and merch‑born miracles
0 A.J. — The Arcane Jam (Origin Event)
A cosmic printer in a forgotten dimension jams so catastrophically that reality buckles.
Instead of a test page, it ejects a hooded figure made of static, caffeine, and raw design energy.
This being becomes known as Harley Warren.
3 A.J. — The First Glyph Appears
Harley discovers his first spell: The Inkstrike, a blast of colour capable of stunning minor gods and perfectly centring itself on a t‑shirt.
The universe takes notice.
7 A.J. — The Neon Pilgrimage
Harley wanders the Neon Realms — a labyrinth of glowing signs, broken arcade cabinets, and abandoned fandoms.
Here he learns to bind pop‑culture fragments into wearable sigils.
9 A.J. — The DeVito Revelation
During a meditation inside a malfunctioning claw machine, Harley receives a vision of Danny DeVito, who becomes his arcane conduit.
Scholars debate whether DeVito is:
• a cosmic constant
• a chaos deity
• or simply the funniest possible muse
Harley refuses to clarify.
11 A.J. — The Summoning of Unreasonable Ideas

This marks the beginning of his signature style:
whimsical, surreal, pop‑culture‑bending chaos.

Sales spike.
So do reports of shirts “vibrating with joy.”

Stickers gain minor sentience.
Not enough to talk — just enough to judge people’s laptops.
2024 CE — The Bag of Holding (Limited Edition)
Harley enchants a series of tote bags rumoured to hold more than physics allows.
One customer reports fitting:

• and “a sense of purpose”
into a single bag.

The wizard’s influence grows.

Every design is a spell.

The wizard lives, creates, and occasionally cackles.
