Hugh of Emblin

Character from Mage Errant by John Bierce

A deeply insecure crystal-and-dream mage who grew from bullied outcast to warlock pact anchor — haunted by abandonment yet quietly becoming one of Anastis's most inventive spellform designers.

Also known as: Hugh, Hugh of Emblin, Hugh Stormward, Stormward
