One Paragraph
Alicia is a student at the Zhalram school of Bladecraft, she is on the Red Team and works with her teammates to get through various battle drills. Unbeknownst to most people, Alicia has a talent for spellcraft as well (a large taboo for someone in the school of bladecraft) and is desperately trying to hide it from others, but slips up and is discovered. The school elders have discussions about this and then decide to put Alicia under academic probation. Alicia roams around the merchant district of Zhalram and happens across a spiritualist that offers Alicia a magical locus that is shaped like a sword.
