Touching a wizard’s locus stone is an almost-certain death sentence, but Conn somehow manages to survive. Curiosity convinces Nevery, the owner of the stone Conn tries to steal and recently returned to the city after a decades-long exile, to take Conn in as a servant, though Conn thinks he’s going to be the wizard’s apprentice. Nevery has been allowed to return to Wellmet in an effort to help stem the leak that seems to be draining the city’s magic. Conn seems to know more about it than anyone gives him credit for, but will he be able to convince anyone in time to save the city’s magic?Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Background Magic Field: All magic draws on power supplied by the Background Magic Field which exists in the form of wellsprings of magic. Although they not omnipresent, cities are built around these sites, and the magic reshapes itself to supply the cities. If a city grows too large, however, this can cause the magic to be "stretched thin", which is one of the causes of Wellmet's magic weakening, as it was not able to supply the entire city.

Abusive Parents: Crowe calculated that Conn would be a better heir than his own son, so he crippled Embrewing to clear the way. Conn is horrified.

Cain and Abel: Black Maggie, Conn's mother, was killed by Underlord Crowe, her brother. Thankfully averted with cousins Embrewing and Conn, as the former admits to preparing to kill Conn before realizing he has no interest in usurping the Underlord position.
