Looking for Fantasy Series: Protagonist Leaves World with Rare Magic, Returns Later, Technology Present

[Helicx]

Hello all,

I’ve been trying to remember the name of a fantasy book series I read some time ago, and I’m hoping someone here can help me out. Here are all the details I can remember:

1. The World:
   The main character starts in a world where magic is rare and difficult to acquire. Magic is not a common thing, and those who can wield it are few and far between.
2. The Protagonist’s Journey:
   At some point, the protagonist travels to other worlds where magic can be more accessible or more powerful, and they learn how to use it effectively. This new world offers a stark contrast to their original world where magic is so limited.
3. Teaching at a School:
   The protagonist becomes a teacher at a school at some point, where they’re passing on knowledge. Technology plays a big part in the story as he comes from a world with few magic they learned to use technology instead, and the protagonist teaches students about it.
4. Mechanical Beetle:
   One of the things I remember most clearly is that the protagonist creates a mechanical beetle (or some kind of mechanical creature) that helps him in his journey. It might not be a central element of the plot, but it’s an important part of the protagonist’s ingenuity and use of both magic and technology.
5. Themes:
   The series blends magic and technology seamlessly, with the protagonist using both to solve problems, defend against enemies, and manipulate the world around him.

I know this might be a long shot, but I’ve been racking my brain trying to recall the title of this series, and I can’t quite place it. If anyone knows what book or series this might be, I’d greatly appreciate any help!

It is not one of Raymond E. Feist books.

Thanks so much!
