"Your magic is really pretty!" marveled a nine-year-old Leon as he stared at Evan, who was creating several white orbs that floated in the palm of his hand.

Evan grinned. "You think so?"

Leon nodded eagerly. "I've never seen magic like this before!"

"All Summoners have white magic, actually," Evan explained, letting the orbs of light float around them like glowing stars under the sunlight. "Though the use of it varies for each one."

"What do you mean?" Leon asked curiously.

"For example, mine can manipulate the shape and dimensions of an object for a limited period of time."

Leon's expression turned blank. "You can… what?" he said, confused.

Evan couldn't help but laugh at the innocent look on his friend's face. "Let me give you a clearer example. See that wall over there?" He pointed to the sturdy castle walls made of expensive stone. "I can create a hole there with my magic."
