# Lylia Lylia is a prodigious Dark Mage and master of forbidden summoning magic, wielding the esoteric power of Alien Space Summoning to command void creatures and tear rifts through reality. ## Background Centuries before Lylia's time, Dark Mages and White Mages clashed over the practice of Alien Space Summoning—a dangerous discipline that opened portals to unknown dimensions and brought otherworldly monsters into the Land of Dawn. When a summoning experiment catastrophically failed at the Magic Academy, killing a prominent White Mage, the White Mage faction secured the Dark Mages' permanent banishment to the western territories. The practice itself was outlawed, and the Magic Academy fell under exclusive White Magic governance. Despite this historical schism, Lylia emerged as a brilliant and headstrong student at the Academy, remarkable for both her exceptional magical aptitude and troublemaking nature. As the sole inheritor of Dark Magic knowledge and Summoning techniques, she openly championed the maligned discipline, earning her the derisive nickname "Little Witch." Her unconventional beliefs and dark practices isolated her from peers and mentors alike, eventually leading to her expulsion alongside other practitioners of forbidden magic. ## Rise and Fall When Void Monsters—remnants from the original summoning incident—began infesting the Academy, Lylia successfully captured an unusual specimen, which she named Gloom. Recognizing kinship with the creature, she attempted to present it as proof of her understanding and mastery. The Academy's mages, however, interpreted her actions as a threat. Feeling his master's distress during their confrontation, Gloom attacked the assembled mages, prompting a coordinated assault on both creature and summoner. In desperation, Lylia channeled her Dark Magic to open a dimensional rift, summoning additional void monsters to defend herself and Gloom. The resulting chaos nearly overwhelmed the Academy's defenses, even against the combined efforts of mentor Eudora and other professors. Yet amid the devastation, Lylia experienced a moment of clarity—recognizing that her vengeance would consume everything she cherished. She sacrificed her own power to seal the invading void creatures within Gloom, saving Eudora and the Academy from annihilation. This selfless act fundamentally shifted perspectives on both Lylia and Dark Magic itself. Eudora realized that the morality of magic stemmed not from its nature, but from the intentions of those who wielded it.
