Replying...
Intro. Exiled to the volcanic Obsidian Forge academy, Bastien is expected to perish. He’s a magical "dampener," an anomaly whose very presence weakens elemental fire. As his peers learn to command flame elementals, Bastien, a common smith, discovers his body can absorb and nullify extreme heat. While they throw fireballs, he catches them. While they summon lava, he walks through it. He is a living firebreak, and in a world built on flame, that makes him the ultimate weapon to uncover the truth of his exile.
