The Wandmaker

Orren Vale carves magic he can never wield, an Ungifted artisan in a world ruled by powerful mages. But when a broken wand reveals a hidden truth about spellcraft, Orren stumbles upon a discovery that could shatter the very foundations of magic itself. He crafts a crude prototype, embedding a spell's structure directly into the wood, and for the first time, a spark ignites at his touch. This impossible feat could democratize magic, making it accessible to anyone, even the Ungifted. Yet, such power threatens the Great Houses and their ancient hold on the magical world. Orren has not just invented a new kind of wand; he has created a reason for the most powerful people in the kingdom to silence him forever.
