Count Yulster, clad in a mage robe, nested in his magic research room, was engrossed in studying the construction of enchantment inscriptions.
This had been Yulster's interest for over a thousand years, his daily pastime, and his addiction.

On the back display shelves of the magic research room, an array of bizarre and varied magical tools was displayed, all the works of the alchemy- and enchantment-passionate Bloodline count.
Suddenly, a blinding light flashed, and the partially embedded inscription before Yulster exploded with a boom.
A translucent shield materialized in front of Yulster, effortlessly blocking the burst of elements.
Waving away the lingering smoke with curses, Yulster complained,
