Introduction: [Participated in the April 2025 Writathon]Chapters are short for a reason. It is to force myself to write more content with fewer words available. It works, sort of.Anyway, to compensate for the short chapters, I will be posting five of them whenever I am ready to post them, so just think of them as one 5k+ chapter.Samuel Edwin Calderon, born within a Family of Wizards, finds out that he has no Magic in his blood.Only that would not do, as no Calderon would ever be without Magic, proper or foul. As such, for three years after discovering his condition, the Calderon House prepared Sam for the yearly Warlock Initiation Ceremony, where those desperate for Magic, however minor, are given the chance to exchange their Souls for Power.PS: Have only the barest of slivers on the destination of the plot since this is mostly an experiment of mine to see if I can implement DnD-inspired stuff or if I will, in fact, capitulate due to the complexity of what I am trying to envision....
