Lore & Story

One of the best students of the Magic Academy, but he mixed ancient sorcery into the process of practicing arcane arts, which led to him being possessed by the Demons. It was lucky that Elward acted in a timely manner, helping Gord control the energy running away in his body. After that, Gord had no hope of reaching the peak of arcane magic in his life, eventually becoming a mentor of the Magic Academy. Gord has always been the living proof of excellence in the magic academy. He was born with the gift to manipulate the mystic powers which allowed him to master several sophisticated spells at an early age. But this is clearly a double-edged sword as Gord became increasingly arrogant over time. Once he stumbled across a forbidden book in the academy which recorded the method to forge the pure mystic existence out of human body using mystic powers. The young wizard buried himself in the book and launched his study without respecting the opinions from the outside. It worked out successfully in the beginning, the pure mystic energy started to flow in Gord's veins, thus he was able to cast even more powerful spells. Unfortunately, Gord was not able to control this power and he became overwhelmed with mystic energy. Gord then tried to seek a solution from ancient magic sources. With the combination of the two different energies, Gord's body was almost devastated. Thanks to the help from Elward, the chief wizard, the turbulence in his body was finally able to be controlled. The incident took a huge toll on Gord, leaving his body half red and half blue. While he was saved, Gord can never again control the magic contained in pure mystic energy. Elward encouraged Gord until he finally got back on his feet. Elward then invited Gord to continue his career as a wizard and invited him to teach at the academy. After careful consideration, Gord accepted the offer. He wished to find a student who will carry on his studies without making the same mistakes. From that day, Gord started a new life as the strictest professor in the magic academy.
