Chapter 32: Field Research
As the news of Zanno's remarkable magical affinity spread throughout Cardinal Peaks, the town buzzed with excitement and intrigue, yet again. The streets were abuzz with whispers and discussions about the young prodigy and his incredible abilities. People from all walks of life gathered in the town square, hoping to catch a glimpse of his powers firsthand.
Zanno possesses a rare and potent magical affinity never before seen. His magic seems to react to his feelings rather than the magical energy around him. Some of the scholars classed his ability as a separate field of magic, dubbed spirit magic. A type of magic that reacted strongly to the wielder's emotions.
The scholars and researchers set up their equipment, eagerly awaiting the opportunity to observe and analyze the exquisiteness of Zanno's magic. They were driven by a thirst for knowledge, hoping to unravel the mysteries of his abilities and advance their understanding of the magical arts. Notebooks were filled with observations, measurements were meticulously recorded, and theories were formed and debated.
Within the royal court of the capital, discussions were held behind closed doors, where advisors and nobles debated the implications of Zanno's powers. Some saw it as a potential boon for the Sultanate, envisioning how his abilities could be harnessed to protect the realm from external threats or to enhance the Sultanate's prosperity. They saw him as a valuable asset, a symbol of hope and strength.
Others, however, expressed caution and skepticism. They raised concerns about the potential dangers of such immense power falling into the wrong hands. They debated the need for strict regulations and oversight, fearing that unchecked power could lead to chaos and upheaval. Their voices urged a measured approach, ensuring that Zanno's powers were used responsibly and for the greater good.
Amidst the discussions and debates, Zanno himself remained focused on his path. He understood the weight of his abilities and the responsibility that came with them. While he welcomed the attention and interest of scholars and the royal court, his primary goal remained the protection of the town and the well-being of its people.
Zanno willingly cooperated with the researchers, allowing them to study his magic and share their findings with the world. He saw it as an opportunity to contribute to the advancement of magical engineering and foster a better understanding of the potential within each individual.
As the days went by, Cardinal Peaks became a hub of magical research and discovery. Scholars and researchers worked tirelessly, hoping to uncover the secrets behind Zanno's extraordinary affinity. The ripple effect of his abilities extended beyond his own journey, inspiring others to explore and develop their own magical potential.
The potential dangers of Zanno's immense power falling into the wrong hands are a subject of concern and deliberation. With such abilities, there is a risk of misuse or abuse, whether through personal gain, the infliction of harm, or the disruption of societal order. The destructive potential of Zanno's fusion magic, if mishandled, could result in catastrophic consequences.
To ensure the responsible use of Zanno's powers, discussions within the royal court revolve around implementing regulations and oversight mechanisms. These measures aim to strike a balance between allowing Zanno to utilize his abilities for the benefit of the town and its inhabitants while mitigating potential risks.
A structured training program was established to help Zanno develop control, discipline, and an ethical framework for his powers. This ensures he understands the consequences of his actions and the importance of responsible magic usage.
Zanno received guidance from experienced and knowledgeable individuals who acted as his advisors and mentors during his training. Sheriff Nathkin, Sergeant Lysara, and the guild leaders of Cardinal Peaks were some of his mentors.
To ensure that Zanno's actions and the impact of his magic on the town and its inhabitants were monitored and evaluated, a system was implemented. Regular assessments were conducted to evaluate his adherence to ethical standards and identify potential areas of concern.
A council was established to oversee the use of Zanno's powers, comprising experts in magic, law, and ethics. This council provided guidance, reviewed his actions, and made recommendations on ensuring responsible use of his abilities. Known as the Arcane Council, it was led by none other than the Royal Physician herself, the Grandmaster Healer Marris Johnson.
The council developed a legal framework to outline the limitations, permissions, and consequences associated with Zanno's magic. This framework established a clear understanding of his boundaries and the consequences of crossing them.
By implementing these measures, the aim was to strike a delicate balance between harnessing Zanno's magical abilities for the betterment of the town and safeguarding against potential misuse. This would directly benefit Cardinal Peaks and, in turn, indirectly benefit the entire Sultanate.
