Personality
History
Sufficiently Advanced Magic
During his judgment Corin finds a magical book through which he can communicate with a 'mysterious book entity', the Voice of the Tower. After Vera stops Corin from taking a regular exit out of the spire, the Voice shows him a switch in a wall, leading him into a Room of Attunement. He instructs Corin to drink from the fountain in the middle of the room to receive an attunement and plunges the rusty sword Corin found earlier into the water, revealing Selys-Lyann. Telling Corin to seek Lyras Orden and explain to her what happened, he turns to leave. Upon being asked about his brother's whereabouts by Corin, he denies having knowledge of it[1].
