Upon earning entry to the prestigious University Arcanum, mage-in-training Kyzyl Shenta is given the chance to study at one of the greatest centers for the arcane. But succumbing to his hubris leads the mage to unleash a terrible force upon the land. As a child, Kyzyl was fascinated by the world of magic, and now, as a young man, he seeks to extend his knowledge by studying under the world's greatest masters of the arcane arts. However, inexperienced and naïve Kyzyl doesn't hold every subject in high regard as he clashes with the Master of Clerics on matters of faith and philosophy. Convinced that the Master Cleric is unworthy of his position and respect due to his belief in faith-based magic, the young mage seeks a way to discredit not only his tutor, but all who all who intertwine their faith with their magic. And, in doing so, he unwittingly unleashes a violent force that threatens not only his life, but the lives of everyone on the continent of Aragore. With his life on the line, and full of regret, Kyzyl must right his wrongdoing and undo his grievous mistake. But can the mage push himself mentally, physically, and morally in order to succeed in this quest and, along the way, will the young man learn what is truly required to become a great wizard? Or, will this one moment of magical misjudgment be his lifelong legacy?
