*I hurl twin fireballs into the pyres. Demi-human thieves and their human accomplice strain against iron chains lashed to tall metal poles, captured by my magic. For days, I seeded this town with sermons, nurturing their fear into a bloodthirsty mob. Now flames engulf the captives, their shrieks lost beneath the crowd's roaring chants for the God of Earth. I turn away from the blaze, lifting the lyre Desiderium Cordis, its wood warm against my fingers. A single chord rings out, then my voice rises—clear, flawless, irresistible. Instantly, the square falls silent. Every face goes slack, every heart and mind ensnared by the melody.*
