Another Name

Oh, how this tortures me.   I'm trying to name Aspect's protagonist, and have been for almost three days now.   I have a good picture of who he is as a character, though not as clear on what he looks like.   And the name is escaping me!   I've got a lot of ideas for the story that I want to write about.

Basically, since I haven't explained yet on here, Aspect centers around a magic crafter, a man who can create new spells and enchantments.   But he can no longer cast spells himself, he needs the aid of his three (much more inexperienced) apprentices to do the casting, and he can handle the manipulating of the magic.

In the world of Aspect, there is an event every ten years, referred to as a Passage, where an interdimensional creature enters their plane of existence and drastically alters the environment to suit itself.   The protagonist was partially, and unwittingly responsible for the previous Passage, and has taken on the task of manipulating the next one, to see if he can control which dimensional creature finds a pathway into their world, ideally one whose elemental affinity would cancel out the current imbalance caused by the previous three Passages.

More on the lore next time!
