Star Mage, a legendary title, a brilliance that only belongs to Medivh.
Indeed, if we were to simply evaluate who is the strongest mage in the history of Azeroth, Azshara, Queen of Kaldorei during the [Light of Light] era, and Aegwynn Medina, the Guardian, are the only two candidates. By.
Today after Azshara fell into the deep sea, Aegwynn was the most powerful person before she stepped down as the guardian.
Even if Medivh inherited from his mother the ancient mana that had been passed down since the days of the first guardian Alodi, and accepted the thousands of years of magical inheritance from the Council of Tirisfal, the last guardian still had to admit it.
Your mom will always be your mom.
In terms of understanding of magic, and in terms of combat effectiveness, Medivh is frustrated. Having a mother who can slash, slash, and crit, Medivh is proud of his magical attainments... Embarrassing, like a sand sculpture castle by the sea.
Giving birth to you once and resurrecting you once, Aegwin has accomplished a feat unprecedented in the human world: your biological mother is your reborn parent.
However, with Medivh's rebirth, an embarrassing thing happened.
Medivh, the last guardian, will also become the weakest guardian in history.
To explain this problem, we must first tell a story to let everyone know what a guardian is.
After the human empire Arathor formed an alliance with the high elves who came across the ocean, the two sides joined forces to defeat the troll Amani Empire.
As part of the covenant, the high elves helped humans train a hundred magic apprentices.
Many years later, humans had their own mage system.
When the magical city of Dalaran was founded, mages encountered a serious problem - the surge of magic caused by frequent use of magic would weaken the space structure, allowing the void demon to break through the barrier and enter Azeroth. world.
Therefore, the newborn Dalaran contacted his teacher, the high elf, when he was unable to solve the problem on his own.
The high elves who came across the ocean did not forget the war ten thousand years ago. The high elves, who knew the horror of the Burning Legion, responded to Dalaran's request.
As a result, the Council of Tirisfal, an organization jointly sponsored by humans and high elven mages, was founded.
The Tirisfal Council has only one responsibility - to capture or eliminate all invading demons and maintain the stability of the world.
The ideals are rich and the reality is very basic. Not long after the Tirisfal Council was formed, the mages encountered a powerful and cunning enemy.
The Dread Lord Cassanatir.
Dreadlord is the universal transliteration of Nathrezim. As the name suggests, every Dreadlord is a master at playing with people's hearts and creating fear.
Several batches of expedition teams disappeared, causing the Tirisfal Council to be highly alert.
After paying huge sacrifices and costs, the Council of Tirisfal was manipulated by Cassanatir.
The absolute disparity in strength allowed Cassanatil to play with the fragile minds of the mages and draw strength from them.
Even relying on the shadow demon lurking in the spiritual gap, Cassanatir found the secret headquarters of the Council of Tirisfal.
The powerful enemy has thirty seconds to arrive on the battlefield, and the mages are helpless...
Then, a bold idea was proposed.
If...I mean if, we concentrate all the mana on one person, can we...defeat that demon?
At a critical moment when the building was about to collapse, the archmages of the Council of Tirisfal adopted this idea and put it into practice.
The mage who received the infusion was named Alodi, and he was half human and half elf.
Mana is to a mage what life force is to a commoner.
Due to immature technology and tight time, all the mages involved in the infusion operation died in extreme pain.
And this infusion is a pain rather than a gift for Alodi.
More than half of the mana is dissipated in the infusion phase.
But even so, after gaining power, Alodi destroyed the body of the Dread Lord Cassanatil like a god coming down from the earth.
At this point, the Guardian was born.
Generations of guardians have continuously perfected the infusion ritual. Countless Tirisfal guardians rely on this ritual to give mana as a legacy to the guardians before they die.
This is why Guardians are powerful.
Extraordinary knowledge and powerful magic power.
Relying on these two, the Guardians protect the peace of Azeroth.
However, Medivh was tricked by his own mother before he was even born.
As the most powerful guardian, Aegwynn Magna has protected the world for eight hundred years.
After eight hundred years of fighting, Aegwynn's appearance has not aged, but her magic power has become increasingly refined.
This guardian has become so powerful that the Council of Tirisfal is suspicious and fearful.
Therefore, the Council of Tirisfal asked Aegwynn to pass his power to the next Guardian.
Aegwynn was dissatisfied, but not angry.
She was dissatisfied with the Tirisfal Council's behavior, which was like burning bridges, so she severely humiliated the candidates provided by the Tirisfal Council.
But the Guardian's accusation convinced her to submit to the decisions of the Council of Tirisfal.
So Aegwynn found Nielas Ellan, the chief royal mage of the Kingdom of Stormwind at the time.
After a calculated hook, Medivh was born.
Aegwynn took the newborn Medivh back to the Council of Tirisfal, completed the guardian inheritance ceremony, and transferred half of his mana to Medivh.
Dang Dang Dang Dang~~~~
A new generation of guardians was born.
Yeah, Medivh only inherited half of his fucking magic.
The Guardian is like a risk investment for Tirisfal. They transfer power into the body of the Guardian. Once the Guardian does not transfer the power to the candidate before death, then this power will lost.
Later, Medivh, controlled by Sargeras' soul fragment, was stabbed to death by his good friend Lothar and his apprentice Khadgar.
Mother's love may be late, but it will never be absent.
The selfish behavior back then became the greatest capital for resurrecting his son.
Aegwynn resurrected her son in the reverse tower of Karazhan, and the price was the part of her private mana that originally belonged to Medivh.
The reborn Medivh finally gained the freedom of both soul and body, and he was finally able to fulfill his duties as a guardian.
However, the embarrassing thing is that at this moment, Medivh's power is not even one-fifth of what Aegwynn was at his peak.
Without strength, how can we kill demons and punish evildoers?
At this moment, Medivh is still the archmage that mortals need to look up to, but only he knows that he has lost the strength to confront the Burning Legion head-on.
Simply, Elune will close a window for you, and will also refill the Lunar Arrow.
Being corroded by Sargeras' soul fragments is not a useless thing.
The Guardian is a hero in the shadows, whose job is to find and hunt every demon.
Therefore, the indispensable skills of every guardian are prophecy and teleportation.
This allows the Guardian to travel throughout Azeroth and into another dimension.
But this alone is not enough to explain Medivh's specialness.
Not every guardian is called an astral mage. While the fragments of Sargeras' soul corroded Medivh, they also allowed him to glimpse the mysteries of the Twisting Nether.
Traveling across the stars was as easy as instinct for Medivh.
To Medivh, the plane barrier is like an unlocked door.
Because of this special experience, the doors of all worlds have been opened to the resurrected Medivh.
Going to the stars to obtain enough power to save the world has become Medivh's top priority.
The guardian's prophetic ability is like a beeping red alarm urging Medivh. If he doesn't take action, the world will be doomed.
So Medivh must leave.
On the high tower of Karazhan, Medivh breathed the air of his hometown for the last time.
There are countless Medivhs in different world lines.
However, when the reborn Guardian steps into the stars, all world lines will be closed, and there will be only one Medivh in the multiverse.
Leaving several clones in Karazhan to watch the development and evolution of Azeroth, Medivh began to cast spells and open the gate to the stars.
There is no need to worry too much about the Dark Portal. As long as Chromie does not interfere, the development of the world will take its own course.
With this in his mind, Medivh realized something and found Chromie peeping on the top of the distant mountain.
The astral mage was angry and funny. A non-lethal arcane missile crossed the barrier of space and hit Chromie on the forehead, knocking the little dwarf to the ground.
When Chromie rubbed his forehead and stood up, there was no sign of Medivh on the high tower of Karazhan.
"You deserve to have no girlfriend if you are so vindictive."
Chromie cursed and left.
There was some emotion in my heart.
This world has lost another legend.
