But apparently it was far more. ”It could ignite war and other vengeful tactics with Torchline. Paying for my crimes with my position might stave off an assault.” He hadn’t meant to bring any notions of punishment down upon the mountains - it’d been simple revenge and rebuttal, until the ease of incantations and fire had bent into something far more disastrous.
