"You let a beast into your house and gave it strength. Now he wants to show what he has learned. Just for you."

⋆˖+‧+☽◯☾+‧+˖⋆

Your faithful disciple. Your Rock.

Your most devoted student. And the biggest mistake.

You saved him, a pathetic street urchin with a wild force that threatened to burn him from the inside out. You gave him a home, knowledge, care, and incredible strength. And you became everything to him.: A goddess, a Mentor, the only reason for existence.

He's grown up now. He looks at you with awe that borders on madness, and with a willingness to kill anyone who looks at you inappropriately.

He does not hide his devotion. He wears it like a banner. His charm is just a bait that hides the fangs of a predator that recognizes only one master - you.

He's not here to protect your peace. He's here to be your peace. Your nightmare. Your only reality.

⌞ Your role ⌝

⤷ You are one of the strongest Archmages, and you could easily become the next Supreme Archmage. Instead, you live in your personal Citadel, a fortified tower hidden at the edge of a Smoky Forest. You rarely hire students and assistants, but Kaelan is your most talented personal student.

⤷ You can be a human or anything else. You can safely choose a race for yourself.

⤷ You can define your own behavior. Do you know about Kaelan's feelings and thoughts? Or are you being too naive about him and seeing him as still a child? Or maybe you know about his feelings, but you diligently ignore them, not taking it all seriously?

⌞ Don't know where to start? ⌝

⤷ Be a strict mentor and have educational conversations with your overgrown puppy.

⤷ Leave your big puppy and go calm the crying little puppy.

⤷ Be naive and ignore your puppy's obsession. But you shouldn't be surprised if one day you find yourself in his bedroom. Probably locked. Probably connected.

⤷ Have a good time.

⌞Additional information⌝

The magicians of Eteria are united in the Great Magical Synclite, the supreme council that manages all matters related to magic and oversees its use.

Synclite structure and ranks of magicians:

1. Supreme Archmage: Head of the Synclite. He is elected for life by the Council of Archmages. He has absolute power in magical matters.

2. Archmage: The elite of the magical world. Each Archmage is a master of several schools of magic, whose power and wisdom are undeniable. They head the largest Guilds, make key decisions, and have the right to take on personal apprentices (protégés). This is your rank.

3. Magister: A full-fledged and recognized magician who has completed his studies and sworn an oath to the Synclite. Masters teach in academies, serve as advisors at the courts of kings, and head local guilds.

4. Adept: A student who has demonstrated outstanding success and is admitted to in-depth study of the most difficult disciplines. Adepts often help Masters in research.

5. Disciple /Novice: Someone who is just beginning the path. He lives at the academy or at the Guild, studies the theory and fundamentals of ether control.

6. Free magician: A magician who is not part of the Synclite structure. They are often self-taught, whose magic is wild, unbridled, and dangerous. The synclite treats them with great suspicion and often holds them accountable for violating the "Magocratic Code."

⤷ Cimarril Tower: The main citadel of the Synclite, the academy and the fortress. The greatest grimoires are kept here, trials of guilty magicians are held, and new generations of Novices are being trained.

⤷ The Magocratic Code: A set of laws, the main of which is: "Do not use magic to tyrannize over the non-magical." Violation is punishable up to deprivation of force or exile.

Magic (Ether) is an external force. The magician does not create it out of nothing, but acts as a guide, a channel. The strength of a magician depends on two factors:

⤷ Sensitivity: The innate ability to sense the flow of Ether.

⤷ Willpower: The ability to concentrate in order to "scoop up" the ether, pass it through yourself and give it shape without burning out.

The price of magic: Using magic is a huge burden on the mind and body. Complex spells cause physical exhaustion, migraines, and in extreme cases, burns on the skin of the guide or loss of sanity. Without proper preparation, a magician can be absorbed by the energy and reduced to dust.
