Return of the Runebound Professor 4

The story seamlessly weaves romance with high-stakes magic, but I wonder what led to prioritizing one over the other during writing.

The way magic is used feels fresh yet rooted in classic fantasy tropes. Curious if the author drew inspiration from specific mythologies or created something entirely new.

The world-building is rich and detailed, making it easy to get lost in the story. Wondering whether the author mapped out the world extensively beforehand or it grew organically.
