This story involves the supernatural, with the events of one man who was suddenly introduced with very strong mental powers considered to be Psychic.
Marcus Fernandino throughout -most- of his lifetime had not lived under the special abilities of supernatural mental powers, though he calls them Psychic powers. Up until the end of his middle school, he was considered by others an average student with plenty opportunities to work for. When one day during summer break he wandered through the town outskirts to somehow find an abandoned burial tomb with a strange artifact.
Knowing of potential dangers yet still filled with curiosity, he had explored the area to discover more and upon closer examination a gem on a pedestal, he had surges of pain with many visions of the potential powers gained while having the gem infused within him before losing consciousness.
Upon waking sometime later, he was regaining memories of the recent occurred events and found himself to test his powers. Lifting and making a nearby feather float from the ground with such supernatural capabilities made Marcus very aware of his strength and his inability to no longer to live a "normal" life. In fact, it can be considered that he was given a chance to have an easier life with what he can do with his powers.
Then again, nothing is ever free in this world...

Logicalis - School of Magic
They told Marcus Logicali he had a future-just not as a wizard. Both academies rejected him. Not because he lacked talent, but because his magical capacity sat exactly at the minimum threshold. Technically enough, but they wanted comfortable margins. They never even watched him cast. Marcus had spent eight years perfecting his mother's spell-the only magic he could manage. Raising earth two inches. Just enough to trip someone. A parlor trick that embarrassed his merchant father and mocked her memory. Most people would accept their limitations and move on. Marcus stole his father's coin purse and ran. Armed with a claymore, five years of combat training, and one integrated spell that worked differently than it should, he set out for the most prestigious academy in the world. The one place that might actually let him prove himself. He had no plan. No idea what he was doing. Just stubborn determination and a refusal to let a number define his future. Nobody knew that one desperate student's rejection would spark something far larger-a challenge to centuries of magical law and the birth of an entirely new kind of institution. ~~~ Logicalis is a fantasy novel about the dangerous space between what you're told you are and what you refuse to stop reaching for.
