Today is Midwinter!
"The most wondrous thing a wizard may ever hope to witness through a long life of spell duels, monster summonings, and the bending of nature itself? It is the Blue Flame, my boy. Once you have seen the Blue Flame, you have beheld the greatest wonder any mage shall ever see — and the fairest as well." - Aumshar Urtrar
