Sufficiently Advanced Magic (Arcane Ascension, #1)

by Andrew Rowe

Sera,

and the other main female character spo far was vera. vera, sera, not confusing at all

Like all of the school uniforms, mine was primarily white, but it was accented with copper buttons and crimson epaulets to signify that I was a part of Phoenix Division. Red wasn’t really my color, but the uniform fit me better than I’d expected, and I had to admit that the floor-length overcoat was pretty nice.

impractical

What was her story?

too many interjections

“Child of the goddess, I call upon your aid. Rain frost from the skies in a Permafrost Cascade!”

stupidest spell ever

Lyran,

isnt there a character named lyras?

Much like mine, the building was three stories, and the doors to the rooms were external, which meant that we didn’t have to bypass any dorm guards.

seems dangerous for kids

Rank A in Quartz only requires about 30 mana, which seems very doable. Getting to Carnelian, however, requires about 60 mana. I haven’t checked since that first time, but I’m still probably around 18. I’ve got a long way to go.

leveling up mana are you serious

“I’m guessing they’re talking about those torch things. Except, you know, they’re not actually torches. Going to guess we need to light each torch in the appropriate way.” Patrick nodded. “Different element for each, then? How do we know which element goes to each torch-thing?”

fifth element lol

“Don’t get killed down there.”

omg theyre going into a pvp dungeon

“Child of the goddess, I call upon your aid. Rain frost from the skies in a Permafrost Cascade!”

so dumb

Vellum lifted a hand to her chin, twisting her lips. “It could be done. You’d want to display it as a fraction — something like ten mana left out of twenty — to make it useful.

huh

“Ah, some of my favorite students. Make sure to entertain me.”

this school has 8000 freshmen how does she know any besides corin?

“Karvensi, I summon you.” The karvensi appeared at her side. It was a little startling — when I was younger, I’d always expected summoning to have some kind of flashy special effect like a puff of smoke or a column of fire. Nothing like that happened — one moment the space next to her was empty, the next moment...bam, karvensi.

Janet!
