Entry metadata
Corin Cadence enters the Serpent Spire for his Judgment — the tower trial that killed or took everyone it ever chose, including his brother. He comes out with an Enchanter attunement everyone underestimates, and a determination to engineer his way up the tower's rules.
Progression: attunements, mana capacity, and enchanting treated as an engineering discipline; hard-magic bookkeeping is the point.
Reader fit: you want tower-climbing, magic-school structure, and a neurodivergent-coded lead whose systems thinking is the superpower.
Texture: analytical, dry-humored, intricate.
