The Genius Prismatic Mage

Ray, an orphan from the lowest district of a brutal survival-of-the-fittest society, has a unique gift: he sees magic as vivid, living color instead of an abstract force. His prismatic sight makes him a prodigy among mages, but years of cold, emotionless survival have left him numb to everything — until a life-altering event cracks that numbness open and awakens feelings he's never had to deal with before. Now Ray has to navigate a world of killers and monsters not just as a gifted survivor, but as someone learning to feel for the first time.
