“He’s brilliant,” Naloth sighed. “I’d do anything to bring him into my fold if I could. The things we could accomplish, who cares if he can only use some obscure non-affinity branches? I feel like just letting him plan how different rituals coul...
2023-06-20 13:28:22 +0000 UTC View PostSo this is the tower, huh? Ben thought as he stood before the giant trial, taking it all in.
It was just as large as any of the magic towers, though it had a few key differences to go along with it. Instead of there being a single door for the terrestrial races to enter, there were...
