Yes, what Eliezer said.

I enjoyed the snot out of them - he actually wrote a magic compiler!

You can find the first two books at the Baen Free Library. There are four total.

I'm going to have to read the books others have mentioned as well, because I really like the genre.

It's heavy on the wish-fulfillment angle. I could have done with a lot less of that.
