The Raythefts are an old, minor noble house defined by magical talent and martial service. When six-year-old Arcus Raytheft, firstborn son to the family, proves disappointingly inept at magic, he is stripped of his inheritance and written off by his parents. His adoptive sister Lecia still adores him, but as the new heir, she is forbidden to interact with anyone who might drag her down. But when one inheritance is lost, fate arranges another: Arcus remembers another life, in a world where science prevails and magic belongs to the realm of fiction. Suddenly endowed with the life experience of a grown man and pressed to find a purpose as his family turns against him, Arcus resolves to find a way to break the laws of magic and Raytheft tradition over his knee!
“Now that he had worked out what had happened, he now had to figure out what to do with this new material. Tentatively, Arcus released some aether. As though reacting to it, the former Sorcerer’s Silver began to grow in size once more. Arcus stopped. The liquid shrank back to its former size. He repeated this exercise over and over for a while, until suddenly it came to him like a bolt of lightning.
‘That’s it! A thermometer!’ Arcus began to tremble with excitement at his discovery. ‘This is just like a thermometer!’
[…]
Here was a possible solution to his eternal bugbear as a student of the aetheric arts.”
