1583 The Pain of Loss (Part 1)

Vastor conjured a red sphere the size of an apple on his left hand and an orange one on his right. The heat generated by the former drained the humidity from the air, raising the temperature by several dozens of degrees per second.

The latter, instead, broke down the solid ground below him until it turned into fine sand, each grain of which was no bigger than a speck of dust. 

Vastor brought the two spheres together, and the tier five War Mage spell, Red Storm, revealed its true form.

It was a mix of fire and earth that Kigan had researched ever since he was still a Phoenix, in the attempt to safely conjure a destructive power on par with Cinder without having to deal with its counterpart, Zero.

Aside from Decay, cursed elements were dangerous even for Eldritchs. Red Storm was the result of Kigan's studies and he had taught it to Vastor to make sure that if anything happened to him, someone would live on and continue his legacy.
