Blade of Magic speculation
Evariste interacting with new characters! I'm especially interested in seeing how he gets along with all of Angelique's friends and with the rest of the heroes. I think everyone is eager to meet the guy Angelique's been looking for for six years.
Evariste not constantly angsting about his seal until it's broken? I do think as he learns more about the alliance and their efforts and the mirror system he'll find that his portals would be useful but not make or break for the war.
All of Angelique's friends immediately seeing right through Evariste. Elle ferreting the seal story out of him in her interrogation room salon. Evariste's reaction to the shovel talk? Genuine joy that Angelique has more people in her corner. She gives him the side-eye real hard for a couple days until she decides he's good people. (Angelique has no clue this is happening.)
actual Evariste & Stil reunion! ToM mentioned that Stil came back for the move to Verglas but he has no appearance.
Evariste gobsmacked to find he has a daughter-in-law. After Gemma gets the rundown of Evarlique from Stil she sees immediately that Angelique does love him back. Evariste does not believe her.
Clovicus getting dropkicked into half-leading the Conclave because who else has the entire law code memorized? He threatens them all into submission and occasionally turns Tristisim's hair neon green.
More war mages! They become the backbone of the Conclave and help get everyone prepared for magical combat. They also make sure everyone at least has SOME hand-to-hand ability.
once Evariste gets his magic back Pegasus gets offended that Angelique now has a faster method of transport than himself. Offers to fly her places half out of her desperate need and half to one-up Evariste the Simpleton.
halfway through the book it occurs to Angelique that maybe having a 24/7 tracking spell on someone is not actually normal or even reasonable. Evariste seems fine with it though? Whatever, better safe than sorry.
Evariste wants to be not entirely useless in a fight and so asks the war mages to teach him some hand-to-hand/sword stuff whenever they're in Verglas. Gets thoroughly thrashed every time but is such a good spoet about it they decide to adopt him.
Angelique vs. Judgmental Magic Rocks That Sing Round 2: Electric Boogaloo
Snow White takes a while to meet up with Evariste and Angelique again, but once she does she sees it Immediately.
