Throughout the 5 Pillars, magic flows. Whether it is weak, like in the 1st Pillar of Earth where magic is weakest. Or if its strongest like the 5th Pillar of the Spiritrealm. Magic is the lifeblood and essence of reality.
In the realm of Aesthelia, magic is a blessed power used by people not only for fighting, but for convenience as well. Magic originated from the First Powers, those who shaped reality itself. And thus in Aesthelia, they are worshipped. Aesthel, was a wizard with incredible magical prowess, and saved the realm from darkness.
But now, with forbidden magic being unearthed and reborn, the realm of Aesthelia is once again in danger of collapsing. With the world under threat, our story starts at the Empire of Tritonia, as a couple of students from the University of Arkangel learn what their magical affinity will be. Who would've realized that the kind of troubles they'd have to face, are more than just a couple of bad grades.
Magic is the lifeblood of this realm, but magic will be the one to ruin it.
