Glitz – The Arcane Inferno
"Turns out Glitz is wanting to make up for the shame of dying again by taking out hordes of enemies en masse."
—Annals of Ice and Flame, fragment recovered near the Cat Claws chamber
Glitz was a student of esoteric arts, his talents forged not in grand halls but through sheer obsession with the unseen. His rise from Black Mage to Black Wizard was a tale of brilliance and fragility. He was the embodiment of the arcane paradox - capable of unthinkable destruction, yet possessed of a frame so delicate that death found him more than any other Lightbound. It was often said that Glitz skirted the veil of death more often than he passed through a door.
Despite his fragility, his magic shaped the fate of battles. Against the Fiend Tiamat, he delivered devastating blow after devastating blow, his fire cutting through even the toughest of scales. His spellcraft was not only precise and terrible in its beauty, but always timed for greatest effect. Spells like Firaga, Thundaga, Blizzaga, and most notably Flare were reserved for the moments that truly demanded them, while in lesser fights, Glitz supported his allies with blade in hand - a change that became all the more potent when he took up the Cat Claws. The mage who had once hung behind the battle line now stepped boldly forward. Even Rukus was heard to remark that Glitz had "finally found the teeth to match his tongue."
Yet Glitz was not merely a disciplined caster. He was vengeful, driven by pride and memory. When struck down - as he so often was - he returned to the fray not with caution, but with vengeance, unleashing firestorms so intense they seemed to burn not only flesh, but the shadow itself. Many a dungeon remembered his fury long after the smoke cleared.
Though war often left him bloodied or breathless, Glitz endured. And when Chaos fell, it was his magic - fierce, final, and undeniable - that brought the beast low.
