Chapter 60: Fabrisse Kestovar and the Infinity Gauntlet
Severa took two steps into the center of the casting square, then turned to him. Her brows arched like she was preparing to grade him before he even started.
“I assume,” she began with a voice so weirdly gentle, “you know how to spiral your flame clockwise?”
Fabrisse gave her a sunny smile he absolutely did not feel. “I, well, yes, if I can ignite my flame.”
Her eyes narrowed. “Let’s keep the combustion external, then.”
It had become tradition by now. If Severa Montreal was going to help him, it was going to be with the same energy a noblewoman extended to a peasant attempting dinner etiquette.
But today was different.
Today, he had an edge.
The Silvial Quartz was still in his robe’s inner seam, inventory-stowed and safely out of sight. With Celestial Hoarding as his Path, he didn’t need to hold it. He’d done his homework, looking at all the ways Celestial Hoarding could interact with his existing skillset.
One particular spell stood out: Gravelkin.
| [Tier 1 Skill: Gravelkin (Rank I)] Description: One particular stone from your collection becomes semi-sentient after repeated handling. It can lightly glow on command. Path Synergy: Celestial Hoarding. For as long as this particular stone, Gravelkin, stays in your inventory, up to (1) Rock can grant attribute gains even as it stays in your inventory, unequipped.
