A Stunning Reward!

At the edge of the Misty Forest, Oliver emerged from the wreckage of fallen trees. The hunt was over for the day, and once again, he'd achieved impressive results. Now, he was heading back to the academy, ready to leave the forest behind.

Behind him lay the remnants of destruction: a wide swath of toppled trees and the pockmarked ground, all a testament to his recent mastery of the Stoneburst Spell. This orange-tier spell had proven to be both devastating and beautiful in its power. When cast, it summoned a hailstorm of crystallized earth elements that detonated on impact, each explosion more destructive than the last. The force behind the blast was immense, capable of obliterating everything within its radius.

This spell was no small feat, ranking among the most powerful of orange-tier magics. And it was the third such spell Oliver had learned. In the weeks since he'd taken on the Hound Core evolution, he'd immersed himself in magic, refining his craft and honing his skills.
