Testing the limits of a mage can be a very bad idea. Bud’s been mainly sitting the Keerah War out so far. He once sent billions home across two galaxies for a day with a single errant angry thought. So he’s kept his focus on supervising the trainers of new mages. However, the war keeps drawing him in. A bit of magic here, a bit more magic there. And then they found enslaved mages, but it was a dragon thing, and not his responsibility. But genocide is another matter, and he can’t let that stand. But others can, and have, and they’re blocking him from doing what he feels is right. The...

But everything ...
