I enjoyed it and found nothing terribly wrong though did want to mention two things for general knowledge. First is that casting a spell doesn't require any magic words, I only say this as in your history you mention the mages in it "uttering words" leading me to think you think it's necessary. Even a mute mage is a dangerous mage. Second, is that both incidents of magic involved fire. Fire magic is essentially dead as Suomyns, the God of the Sun and therefor fire is dead. It still exists though it's a very weak force, it'd be a very difficult and taxing task to do the type of fire magic you spoke of. You can keep it as it is if you wish, just for future reference for everyone involved.

Anyway, I liked it and accept it.
