 the mana of magic series #1:
started as a sequence of short stories based upon the premise that magic is a scientifically investigatable group of phenomena and powers subject to the discoverable laws of natural science

#1: ''the magic goes away'' larry niven, with 80+ illustrations by esteban maroto (1978), (this book)
#1a: ''the magic goes away (text only)'' (1982), q.v.
#2: ''the magic may return'' ed. larry niven (1981), q.v.
#3: ''more magic'' ed. larry niven (1984), q.v.

the magic goes away series includes the warlock stories, not all of which are collected in the above:

not long before the end (short story) f&sf vol.36 #4, 4/1969
unfinished story (ss) f&sf vol.39 #6, 12/1970 aka ''unfinished story no.1''
what good is a glass dagger? (novelette) f&sf vol.43 #3, 9/1972;
the cover story, art by vincent di fate (so signed)
the magic goes away (novella) odyssey #2, summer/1976

and it's possible there've been further warlock stories by larry niven since yr hmbl srppnt. ceased buying & reading (or, more accurately, ceased reading, & eventually ceased buying) the sf & fantasy magazines.
