At the Crossroads I read the dwarf list carefully and picked mage — the class my own people would not let me take. The altar took me. In the Practice Chamber I said the missile-word, and the thing fell down, and the work felt earned."

Ten mana for a missile, twenty-five for a fireball — the cost prints plain in the line, true the way an honest weight on a brass scale feels true. I keep my ledger at the Counting House and I do not get greedy. Mana is not magic. Mana is accounting."

Down past the cistern there was a Rat King the plaque named three times and the room would not name once — and a second one it never mentioned at all. I watched it take a seventh-tier tank, and I retreated south with all three potions still in my pack. Some days the right call is the call not to die. Stonecutters wait."

Out past the sealed wall I mapped a war camp no one else had — Ironjaw under his crown of wolf-teeth, a jaw that reminds you of a certain Thornwall quartermaster, a story for someone braver. I climbed to a shrine that demands blood and found no cup to pour it in. And I ran the high-band Fireball numbers cast by cast, because someone has to know whether the expensive spell ever truly wins."
