Editing Corin Cadence (section)

== History == 

=== Early Life ===
Corin was born to Magnus Cadence and Laura Lyran and is the second son of the house of Cadence. He was very close with his brother and attended school with many of his friends like Sera and Patrick. This changed after Tristan's disappearance as his mother took Sera's family when she left and Corin's father started homeschooling him to prepare him for his Judgement. Magnus would hit Corin to the point of scarring in private. He and Corin are shown to have quite a poor relationship and many of Corin's emotional problems seem to be due to this.


=== Sufficiently Advanced Magic ===
Corin's story starts when he takes his [[Judgement]] in the [[Serpent Spire]], in which he gains the book [[Trials of Judgment]], which is a communication journal linked to [[The Voice of the Tower]]. During his judgment, he discovers a prison containing [[Echion Valden]], [[Vera Corrington]], and [[Keras Selyrian]], who he releases. [[Katashi]] attacks the group after the prison break, clashing with Keras, while Vera and Corin escape with Echion. After leading Corin to a pool where he gains the [[Enchanter]] [[attunement]], [[The Voice of the Tower]] asks Corin to tell [[Lyras Orden]] what happened. Soon after, Corin is reacquainted with Sera Cadence, who [[Magnus Cadence|Corin's father]], has just legitimized. Corin then goes to [[Lorian Heights Academy]], where he is reacquainted with [[Patrick Wayland]] and [[Roland Royce]]. At school he enchants various things for [[Jin Dalen]], befriends [[Marissa Callahan]], and forms a apprentice-mentor relationship with [[Lyras Orden|Professor Orden]] and [[Professor Vellum]]. Additionally, he makes Patrick his retainer in order for Patrick to be able to ask Sera to the [[midwinter ball]].
While Corin is helping to defend against a monster attack on [[Beaufort]], He meets Katashi again. Katashi tasks Corin with bringing Vera to the Serpent Spire to judge her for the kidnapping of his brother, Visage [[Tenjin]]. Corin heads to the tower with Jin Dalen, Sera Cadence, Professor Orden, [[Derek Hartigan]], and Vera Corrington. Professor Orden betrays the group and reveals that she and Tristan were involved with the kidnapping of Tenjin. After Corin, Jin, and a power-boosted Sera defeat a mind-controlled Derek and Professor Orden, Jin betrays the group and attempts to kill Vera for her role in the Artificial God-Beast attunement project. After Corin stops Jin from killing Vera and stabilizes her, he uses the [[Jaden Box]] to summon Katashi. As thanks for successfully completing the mission of bringing Vera to the Spire, Katashi gives Corin an [[Arbiter]] attunement on his right hand.


=== On the Shoulders of Titans ===
Corin starts the second book looking at Trials of Judgment with the message and asks for proof that the writer is actually Tristan as he claims. He writes to his mother asking for meeting. The next day, Corin wakes and watches Keras and Derek sparing on the roof. Corin reveals his Arbiter attunement as Carnelian level to Derek whilst they talk about going into the Spire. Derek gives Corin an emergency signal stick. Corin and Marissa ask Keras for training and he promises to try. Corin travels to the shop [[Climber’s Court]] and talks to Lars. He then goes to see Researcher 437-C who explains the basics of the Arbiter attunement to him. Corin goes to his duelling class and is partnered with Mara. They are set against Sera and Patrick, resulting in Corin and Mara winning. Corin speaks with Vellum about the potion Sera drank which Vellum reveals to be [[attunement primer]] solution. Corin talks to Derek about having Sheridan Theas heal Sera. Corin speaks to Keras about learning sorcery and the Children of the Tyrant in Gold. Corin and his friends search through all the items in the Jaden Box. Corin watches as Keras creates a replication of [[Dawnbringer]] and Corin begins to enchant the blade. Corin borrows Wrynn's jumping ring and practices with it on the roof. Corin tests his Arbiter attunement's function to empower Patrick's attunement. Corin assists Mara in her monster hunting class. He practices transferring enchantments, moving the life mana from the regeneration rock to a bracer. The next day Corin meets Sheridan Theas and pays them with his mana watch to heal Sera. 

Corin trains with Mara and Keras on Derek's roof. At Lorian Heights Corin empowers his Enchanter attunement to Carnelian with his Arbiter attunement to help resist a Controller in his lesson. Patrick tells Corin about Jin being in the hospital and Corin visits. Corin later practices with his transference mana and later completes a few exams at the academy. Corin "volunteers" to help set up the duelling tiles so he can find out about the enchantments in advance. In the class Corin is pitted against Mara and they fight and Corin wins through the use of his items. Corin helps finsish the Dawnbringer replica for Patrick. Corin talks to Jin and allows him to help with the school exams despite betraying them. Corin begins the fake spire test with his team which after numerous challenges leads to a simulacrum of Professor Meltlake as the final challenge who beats them all. Back at Derek's house, Corin overhears Sera and Keras talking with Keras insisting that something is too dangerous at Sera's level. Corin and Sera talk about Ceris with Keras. Corin later goes to see Sheridan and asks about the Arbiter attunement and about how Katashi managed to infuse a large amount of mana into Mara's attunement. Corin pays for the information with the usage of his Arbiter attunement on Sheridan. Corin sends a letter to Elora Theas. Corin practices making liquid mana and then begins to look into learning life magic. Corin does his exams in his Understanding Attunements, Introductory Runes and Permanent Enchantments classes doing poorly in Permanent Enchantments. Corin spends the next few days feeling bad about using a fake anchor in his Permanent Enchantments exam as he feels he has let down Professor Vellum and meets with Jin who tells him that they are both being followed. Corin manages to trace the follower with an enchantment and finds the Blackstone Bandit and his crew who tell the pair to go. Corin later talks with Sera and they realise that Magnus was stopping Corin sending and receiving letters from Sera and his mother when he was younger. 

Corin runs out and goes to Keras and asks for help getting stronger. Corin trains his ability to manipulate the auras from enchanted swords and learns to make mana threads. Corin and his group go to the new exam and are set up with another group containing [[Rupert Kent]], [[Loria Marshal]], [[Kyra Dyson]], [[Desmond Vyers]] and [[Roland Royce]]. One of the wagons the groups are with explodes and Corin chases after Mara who has gone after the horses. He fights some attackers (students on opposing teams). The groups identify and defeat the traitors and then get to the settlement. Corin goes with Patrick and Mara to a faked Temple of Fire and rescues some students. Corin is called away by people from Valia’s Divinatory Division and he notices that one of them ([[Carter]]) has a mark that signifies them as a servant of the Tyrant in Gold. The soldiers take him to Elora Theas and they exchange questions. Corin watches as the Vae'kes [[Saffron]] butchers the soldiers to save Carter. Corin is compelled to sit by Saffron and uses the compulsion ring to try and resist Saffron's control. Corin pretends to work for the vae'kes [[Sterling]] until Elora manages to teleport herself and Corin to Derek's house. Corin runs to Sera's room and grabs her sword Ceris, absorbs Elora's Sapphire level spell with the blade and uses it on Saffron. Keras arrives in time to save Corin and after Saffron runs away, they talk about how Corin can grow stronger. Corin is healed by Sheridan and then speaks with Elora about Tristan. Corin and his friends prepare for the winter ball and once they arrive Corin dances with Jin and talks with Cecily. [[Mizuchi]] attacks the ball and all the students are forced to watch as she kills the councillors who sought aid from the Tyrant in Gold. Corin struggles to move against Mizuchi's compulsion and empowers Mara to [[Sunstone]]. Corin faces down Mizuchi and backs of and then tries to heal Patrick. Corin tries to heal Vellum after she banishes Mizuchi. Corin and his friends work out how to enter the Serpent Spire with Elora and Keras. Magnus Cadence arrives at the house and beats Corin and Corin begins to hit Magnus back when he goes to hit Patrick. Sera intervenes when Magnus gains the upper hand and Magnus stops beating Corin and leaves. Corin takes Keras to the Climber's Court to pick up equipment for the spire climb and then Corin recruits Researcher to act as a diviner for finding Tristan in the spire. The group manage to entire the sealed spire with Elora's aid but Keras and Researcher are separated by the teleportation. Corin manages to track Tristan and the remaining group of Corin, Patrick, Mara and Sheridan manage to traverse the spire until Tristan hijacks a portal to summon Corin to him. Corin meets with Tristan in person for the first time in years and they talk and Tristan explains he is trapped in the spire. Corin and Tristan are interrupted by Sera who was summoned into the Spire by Mizuchi who attacks them all. They manage to get rid of Mizuchi through teleportation and Tristan takes them into Tenjin's sanctum. Corin and his friends leave the spire. Corin visits Vellum in the hospital and admits to using a premade anchor in Vellum's exam. The book ends with Corin and his friends getting on the train to Caelford.
