"Violators will suffer the backlash of the Wizard World's Rules. Their Soul will be permanently marked, and their Power will wane."
Ian gazed at the Eye of Rules. He had read about it in some ancient texts; it was the highest form of contractual arbitration in the Wizard World.
It was typically reserved for major pacts between factions or transactions involving world-level interests.
Aisala showed him the contents of the contract. The terms were clear and explicit:
Ian Marcus must enter the Esok World and seize as much of the World Origin converted by the Crystal Core Insects as possible.
The seized World Origin must be given to Aisala to aid in her ascension to Level Six...
Aisala must provide the [Moon God's Treasure Manual] Meditation Method, one World Tree Branch...
Ian must not reveal the true situation of the Esok World, nor the existence and purpose of Aisala, to anyone.
