The moment Ethan selected the option to elevate Goldenveil to a duchy, the entire region changed.
A powerful magical pulse swept through everything. The office windows trembled slightly, the ink in his inkwell rippled, and the skin on his arms prickled.
At the heart of the territory—the city of Goldenveil itself—the magical density doubled in a single instant.
The neighboring cities, whose magical density had previously sat at twenty percent of Goldenveil's, saw that figure climb to twenty-five.
On paper, it looked like a small difference. But stacked on top of Goldenveil's already massive base density, plus the boost from the territory's advancement to a duchy, the leap was enormous.
Ethan let out a contented sigh and leaned back in his chair, glancing at the information screen for the Duchy of Goldenveil.
