Bölüm 74: Weaving a story

He began by describing his first step: destroying the fog formation with the help of a non-existent artifact that channelled thunder and lightning. 

He hid his ability to cast large spells temporarily to protect himself. After all, he understood the Tower's nature too well.

For that, he fabricated the artifact that spewed lightning to mask what exactly he had done.
