Story
Nora spent centuries as a famed mage before becoming a five-year-old with no magic. When a royal enforcer arrives with a fake Crown Sigil intending to put her father to death, the whole court freezes, except Nora. Only she sees through the forgery. She only wants to be Nora, yet her old power still lies hidden inside her.
