Description

“Some people die once. Others burn into memory.”

In the Sovereign Dominion of Vires Imperium, magic is chained by faith. The Church holds the leash. History is rewritten, truth buried beneath miracles.

Aldric Valen is a prodigy. Brilliant, curious, and dangerously idealistic. He dreams of uncovering the mysteries of the world. But when a forbidden letter finds him, Aldric is thrust into a chain of events that will unravel everything he believes. About magic, about the Church, about himself.

The first spark always feels like light.

You did a great job writing Aldric and Veylor, but the others feel a bit grounded in comparison. It'd be nice if you explore more newer characters in the future to keep things fresh.
The magic system is pretty unique though. Holy magic as the primary system is not something you often see in fantasy stories, and I like how you’re gradually developing it into a hard magic system.
However, the interactions in the recent chapters feel repetitive. Mixing in more events would help, which I can already see you're building the story up for. Other than that, pretty solid series!

Don't heavily centered the main character too much, I guess, I want to see your exploitation on different corners of your fantasy world. Give each character a deep, meaningful connection with one another is what I'm looking forward.
