Lien, also known as Edge, is the protagonist of the Lost Edge series. He shares some similarities with Taelien. He is an essence sorcerer of an unknown level who wields sword essence.

Physical Description

Lien is tall, with silver eyes and long black hair. He has a six-petal mark on the centre of his right cheek.

Magic

Edge is an essence sorcerer of unknown level, at least Torch almost definitely significantly higher, with at least sword and breach essence and a strange destructive power partially sealed in his right hand.

Essence Sorcery

As an essence sorcerer, Lien absorbs essence of specific types and compresses them into his Dianis Points for advancement so he can use more powerful and more techniques.

Dianis Points

Lien has at least two complete Dianis Points, his Heart Point has sword essence and his Vision Point has breach essence. He also has a partially sealed essence in right hand that he can draw from. The Points act as self-refilling pools for essence that can be used for spells and techniques.

Heart Point: Sword Essence - The Heart Point is the first Dianis Point to develop and it theoretically allows for the essence in the Heart Point to mix with essence from any of the other Dianis Points in the body.

Vision Point: Breach Essence - The Vision Point is typically used for observation techniques relating to the essence in the Vision Point.

Destiny Mark

Lien has a yet unrevealed destiny mark. He was presented with the "Heartbreaker Sword" destiny in his destiny dream but rejected it and instead "reached down, formed a sword, and cut the words that would define my future. Three cuts. That was what I’d hoped would make my own destiny." This means he modified the Heartbreaker Sword with three cuts through it so the name of the destiny he received is unknown.

Aspects

Aspects refer to a more specific part of an essence - usually a form, feature or function of the essence. Lien typically refers to aspects as [aspect name]-aspected [essence name] essence. Eg. cutting-aspected sword essence. Lien is very talented with adding aspects to his techniques able to apply far more techniques than he should for his level, far more than most people use in general.

For sword essence he can use aspects for: cutting, deflection, slashing, piercing, hardness, scabbard and riposting.

For breach essence he can use aspects for: memory, core, visibility, layer, corporeality and breaking.
