### Premise

In the Dregs of Stillwater, street magician **Jax Cordova** hustles for coin with sleight-of-hand and small-time spells, staying carefully off the radar of the official mage guild. When his beloved mentor, the infamous alley witch **Mama Rooks**, is burned to ash in a ritual killing, Jax becomes the prime suspect in a string of murders targeting unlicensed practitioners. As the city’s urban spirits turn violent and the streets themselves begin to warp, Jax has to dodge the law, angry ghosts, and a tightening noose of suspicion long enough to clear his name.

Forced to trust more than just his own tricks, Jax pulls together a mismatched crew: an volatile **electrical mage**, a gruff **gargoyle cook**, an overworked **academic librarian**, and a **disillusioned detective** who’s starting to doubt the clean image of the guild he serves. Their investigation uncovers guild official **Silas Ashworth**, who is secretly repeating historical purges to hide—and contain—a bound entropy spirit buried beneath Stillwater. When destroying Ashworth’s weapon accidentally frees the entity, Jax must accept a terrifying role: becoming the **living anchor** in a massive binding ritual powered by his life force and a fragile alliance between humans and spirits. He saves the Dregs at enormous personal cost, becomes a permanent **guardian and teacher in the Underglow**, and helps usher in reforms that finally legitimize street magic and reshape the city’s magical order.
