The Calm After the Storm
This piece came, once more, from Marsel-Defender in July of 2021. I think of Edmund almost like a combination of a mage and a monk in terms of fantasy class archetypes, and this YCH was a great opportunity to showcase some of the "monk" aspects...
Edmund Azurium’s Day Off
For Edmund, this was to be a rare day: A free day. Neither training nor studies were on the schedule, as per his teacher’s insistence. “Working hard is one thing, but it’s important to allow yourself time to rest.” The words rang in the young tiger’s...
Pyromancy?
It was such a simple principle that both mentor and student were astonished they hadn't come up with it before. One need not necessarily be a true pyromancer in order to make use of fire. Through the controlled application of his powers, Edmund could simulate the...
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,...
The Grim Harvest
As you all know, Enigma loves the autumnal season, as any great illusionist would. So much so that he was honored to accept the role of the evil necromancer in that Magistrum's annual performance.But what master of the dearly departed would be complete without a...
Conducting the Storm (Card)
Naturally, I was going to use Marsel's artwork for an MTG card. I've always been fond of word play, so comparing a lightning storm to a symphony because both can be "conducted" was the first place my mind went when exploring flavorful concepts that Edmund could...
Conducting the Storm
"Attempting to control your powers with my level of precision will only backfire. Compared to the magics I wield, yours are significantly more fierce and primal in their expression. Rather than force your will upon the wind and lightning, it is your charge to gently...
Refining the Unrefined
It was no secret that Edmund had a talent for brawling, and getting himself out of difficult scraps. Unlike the more subtle approach of his teach, Edmund was adept at tackling his problems… a bit more directly. Rather than try to have his larger-than-life protege...
