That looks like quite a magical wand emanating all those violet flames. Having a wand like that would not just raise the self-esteem of someone who doubts their unique abilities but let them see why they needed to have all those doubts in the first place. And once the doubts turn into fairy floss, the wielder of the wand will have the ability to help others see more of their total creative self.
Hope you can borrow that magic wand @scrawly ~ And command the violet flames to ward off that summer cold too. Be well soon.
I think you have guessed his character progression pretty well with that summary, Ally. It is quite amazing that you can do that.
And thank you, I hope the magic wand works and dispels my cold ^_^.
