Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A fantasy novel by economist and omnienthusiast David Friedman. The story is set in a world where everyone has some magical talent, but magic is always very weak, at the time when the Laws of Magic are just starting to be formulated. The plot centers around Ellen, a new student at a School of Magic. She meets the young theorist Coelus, one of the masters at the academy. He's working on a new kind of spell - 'The Cascade' - which could grant vast power to whoever uses it. Ellen is drawn into both the politics surrounding the Cascade and the mystery of the Salamander.This description does not do the book justice. Can be purchased for Amazon Kindle here.Not to be confused with the game in the Gradius series, or the Belgian-made TV series about criminal and political skullduggery.

Karmic Death: Maridon convinces Coelus that he needs to be the subject of the Cascade ritual because if something goes wrong and the subject dies, he's expendable and Coelus isn't. Naturally, his attempt to Take Over the World is interrupted when something goes wrong with the ritual.
