Whilst the arcane masters slept, the three pupils snuck into the activation workshop.

Seeking to impress the masters with their abilities, the pupils stood before the large sword cache that had been sent to the arcane university for conflagrant activation.

The masters came running to find out the cause of the loud commotion.

Though saddened to find their ambitious pupils had passed away, the masters were impressed as they carefully scrutinized the now flame ignited swords!
