The Lightning Conjurer

It's been two months since the Day of Enlightenment, the day a true Pentamancer emerged once more on the world stage after centuries of extinction. Under the protective arm of the Magistrate, Aspen has agreed to cooperate with the Inner Circle in hopes that her radical visions for the Elementalist community can be realized. On the surface, things are going well: she's been traveling the world, rescuing cities from Terramantic temper tantrums, attending Elementalist conferences, and meeting powerful Asterian Officials around the globe. And yet, in spite of (or perhaps, because of) Aspen's tenuous alliance with the Magistrate, political divisions are simmering among his Prelates. Not everyone shares Aspen's utopian vision, and the Magistrate's grip on the Inner Circle is beginning to slip. Whether by destiny or by chance, the fate of the Community now rests on the shoulders of the so-called "Prophet"; it's up to Aspen to decide whether to embrace her newfound status, or refuse it. Whatever path she chooses - there's no turning back.
