Quest: A Talent for Pyromany

Agon is pumped to attend a lesson about practical elemtentalism with Professor Balam, while Gwen is nervous about the prospect. He showcases to Gwen how easily he can summon fire, hurting his fingers slightly in the process and explaining that he wears bandages on his arms because he is not fireproof.

But then, in class, the fire Agon summons is green and far bigger than even Agon intended it to be. Class ends, and Agon basically runs off to his dorm, Gwen following him. Which is how Gwen overhears Agon calling himself a dummy - and then Agon has to explain that he partially lied about his bandages earlier, as Gwen reveals that the green flame wasn't fire, but aether-infused ignus (Wizard's flame).

What the bandages are actually hiding are moving red and black sigils, leftovers from having been touched by a cursed artifact when Agon was only three. It was an artifact his parents had found at some hex-blasted site after the war. Agon explains that these symbols allow him to channel Wizard's flame, but when he loses control of them, it feels like he is not in charge of his body ("it feels like some pyromaniac wizard starts taking control of my body"), and the sigils start to burn, like flames on skin. When struggling to stay in control, it also influences Agon's normally cheerful disposition, making him seem paranoid. As the symbols were created through forbidden magics, Agon is keeping them hidden, as he says when he is discovered at school, he will be "expelled... or worse", describing himself as an unexploded bomb.

To keep in control, he consumes herbal pills made by a healer in the Uzhkadhi mountains, but he is almost out of them and hence in trouble. Agon and Gwen ask Farzaneh at the infirmary to help replicate the herbal pill. Farzaneh tells them the pill is easy to replicate, however one key ingredient is an "orach herb" only found in the mountains of Uzhkadh.

Luckily, Professor Balam had just been by the infirmary to drop off that same ingredient for the healers to study. Agon is sure Balam knows of his malady, and is questioning "if he knows, why am I still alive?" Gwen tells him she has no idea what's going on, but gives him the advice to just be thankful he's okay, and that his secret is safe... probably.
