Edmund, God of Thunder
After returning from one of his "sabbaticals", Enigma regaled his students with tales he picked up from his adventures. Of particular interest to his most dedicated apprentice was the tale of a god of thunder, who channeled his power through a magical hammer. Edmund, with the...
Mystical Tutor
What better way to demonstrate learning in card form than by using one of the most famous blue tutors in all of magic: Mystical Tutor? Kenjii's art depicting my short story was perfect for a "reprint". Since this isn't an original card design, there's not more...
Efficient Learning
This piece from an artist known as Kenjiii back in December of 2020 marks one of my earliest standalone short stories. Though there were lore tidbits in all of my posts up until this point, and my Volpes work was just getting off the ground,...

“Savior of the Downtrodden”
This piece from Deriaz back in late October of 2020 would go on to mark a turning point for me and my creative works. He did an excellent job helping my finalize Volpes's design, adding his own creativity to the concept I had laid out...
Wolfing It Down
The psionicist often wondered why the colloquialism "wolfing it down" became popular in other planes. Any yet, if any were to observe him eating his evening meal like this, sitting by the campfire and without any of the utensils common to the more civilized settings...
