This chapter has such a heavy, lingering atmosphere, I really felt Raum's unease, especially in the dream and the first moment the magic turns wrong. The contrast between the peaceful grove and the sudden corruption was unsettling in the best way, and the village attack hit hard because of how abruptly it all spirals into chaos.
I'm especially curious about the void taint itself, has Raum been unknowingly connected to it longer than she realizes, or is this the first true moment it's answering her? This feels like a major turning point, and I can't wait to see how deeply this changes her going forward.
