Emery raised an eyebrow.
He had heard of such things before.
An Earth Core Flame was a special flame born from a spirit vein that had evolved through the concentrated natural energy of Mother Earth.
It was as potent but fundamentally different from the Primordial Flame once possessed by Ember Sage and now held by Morgana.
The Primordial Flame had its own consciousness, while an Earth Core Flame was nothing more than pure natural energy, condensed and refined over countless years beneath the earth.
There were hundreds of known Earth Core Flames scattered throughout the Magus Universe, each one a precious treasure owned by renowned clans or factions.
If successfully refined, an Earth Core Flame could provide an enormous and almost inexhaustible source of energy, powerful enough to serve as the primary energy source for a large city. For artifact craftsmen, however, its value was even greater. The flame could also be used as a core material for forging Tier 8 artifacts.
