They wanted a weapon. They're about to regret it. I never asked for magic. Never wanted these shadows that taste lies and hunger for secrets. But when the Arcane Regulatory Commission drafted me into their precious academy, they didn't get another student to shape into a magical soldier. They got something darker. Now I'm at Bastion Sanctum, where reality bleeds at the edges and even the shadows have teeth. My only allies?
