You put the * outside the cast. bearophile had

dosh.e_magic = cast(WORD*)"MZ".ptr;

However, one needs to copy the content to e_magic, which happens to be a 
WORD. The endianness may be off but it should be something like this:

import std.stdio;

void main()
{
     alias WORD = ushort;
     WORD w = *cast(WORD*)"MZ".ptr;
     writefln("%02x", w);
}
