Elara Astoria, Rank 5 of Slatemark Academy, was something of an anomaly.
Support magic, the art of bolstering others rather than crushing enemies, was often dismissed as outdated—relics of a time when warriors needed healers in the backlines rather than energy shields and nanotech enhancements. Yet, despite this, Elara had dedicated herself to mastering it.
Her magic wasn't the kind that made headlines. It didn't split mountains or tear open the sky. It didn't turn entire cities to dust or carve one's name into the annals of history. No, Elara's magic protected. Strengthened. Mended.
Light, earth, wind, water, and space—each one woven together in perfect harmony, allowing her to reinforce allies, manipulate battlefields, and ensure her team could fight harder, longer, and better than they ever could alone. It was a skillset that was underappreciated, but not by those who had ever fought beside her.
