For four days, I searched the doorways of lightning magic from the comfort of a couch and with a glass of wine in hand. I knew how I appeared to the others: a wizard sipping wine and gazing blankly as if I had no concerns at all. I found and learned several powerful spells, though whoever had created them had given them presumptuous names.

[Heaven’s Descent] was a 5th Tier spell that called nearly three dozen lightning strikes to hit the earth. It wasn’t the ideal spell, as it was nearly impossible to designate a particular target, but an area was feasible. Against a sea of hydra, it would do wonders. The truly magnificent part of the spellcrafting in it was how it was constructed. The framework was created in a way that allowed me to pour as much mana as I wanted into it, and the result would be more bolts summoned. This placed it potentially much higher than the 5th Tier. The downside was that it could only be used once a week at most, as it pulled on the natural forces of lightning in an area and left it dry afterward.

[Finger of the Heavens] was another 5th Tier spell—an improved version of [Call Lightning], which summoned a single powerful lightning strike on a chosen place. It was five times as powerful as Call Lightning because it was essentially five casts of the spell woven together. The name, though, left much to be desired.

I had worked to extract the framework that weaved the bolts together from the latter, trying to apply them to the former in the hopes of being able to make my own 6th Tier spell. While the doorways provided by my Authorities were excellent at showing me existing magics, the spells I could view were limited to only the 5th Tier. I didn’t know if that would change if I ever ascended to the 6th Tier, but I held hopes it would.

Yet, my research, still incomplete, was interrupted by my seneschal, who was wearing a new tunic and trouser set of yellow that matched the robes I hadn’t changed in four days. In fact, now that I considered it, it also matched the robes my apprentices wore, and I had seen much more yellow in the clothing of those with whom I had met when I returned.

With a bow, his words brought me back to the present. "Pardon the interruption, my lord. There is a guest who arrived claiming a matter of utmost urgency."

The interruption was an annoyance, but I didn’t expect my seneschal to disturb me for just any random villager. "Who is the guest?"

"A mage claiming to work for Baron Froom."

I sighed. Alred had mentioned his wife’s coming death when we last spoke, and he hadn’t attended the Wilchrest wedding. He was likely as absorbed by working to evacuate as many people as he could as I was in preparing defenses, and it was something related to that. Although… he was working in a new field of magic, and he may have discovered something.
