Corin Cadence enters the Serpent Spire seeking an attunement that will grant him magic—and clues to his brother's disappearance within the tower years ago. Andrew Rowe's Arcane Ascension features a meticulously designed magic system based on attunements, mana types, and enchanting. Corin is analytical and cautious rather than the typical brash hero, preferring to craft items and solve problems systematically. Blends tower-climbing challenges with academy life and deeply satisfying hard-magic worldbuilding.
