The Fourth Law

Gaius Adrius A'landran, called by some the "sage of time", loses hope, and pours all his fleeing hopes into a grand spell to have him reborn again in a new age, free to pursue his dreams of being a battle mage. Reborn as Ben Nedial Sa'Aren, second son in a minor noble house, Gaius's ego has long since passed on, but his soul and memories live on in the mind of a child who grows up in a world which has stagnated and fallen behind the level of the world in his dreams. Curious and anxious, but excited to pursue the life he never could manage before as Gaius, Ben practices to become a Caster from an early age, touching the True Source long before he is old enough to attend the Jeredi Magic Academy in the capital. When he reaches the capital, though, he begins to learn just how much the world has changed, and how much has been lost, since his birth was designed. Working in the shadows, he works to restore the knowledge now lost to time as he tries to discover where the threats that used to hide in them are lurking now, before it's too late.
