How Did It Go?
It was more than understandable if most of the students had forgotten another aspect of their Kardia which wasn't tied to whether it Affixed, Pooled, or Alienated itself. This aspect had been purposefully glossed over by their Dragon Biology and Kardia Studies instructor, after all.
For the Second Burning, all the First Years had been given flasks that they were told would indicate what kind of Kardia they had after they had ventured into the Rebounding Seether.
The flasks would show either a thin, candle flame, which represented Affixing Kardia; tiny dotted spots of flame that sputtered, issuing bright sparks, a sign of Alien-type Kardia; a lava-like flame that covered a wide space, representing Pooling-type Kardia; and a swirling flame for Totality-type Kardia.
The coloration of the flames would denote the strength of the individual's Kardia. In order of the highest degree of heat produced, the spectrum went from blue, white, yellow, orange, and then red.
