Magic is not a gift, nor is it a mere force-it is a question, demanding both understanding and sacrifice. In my worlds, power is earned through suffering, and strength is the burden of those who dare to wield it. I write of minds sharpened by hardship, of souls weighed down by the gravity of their pasts, and of magic bound by logic rather than whim. If you seek tales where brilliance and despair walk hand in hand, where the extraordinary feels inevitable, and where the cost of power is never forgotten-then step forward. But know this: every choice has a price.
