he is most likely a user of an expiremental curse, specifically a spirit energy one. if you look at his outfit his purple gems can represent a spirit color as if you killed ellius you get the “ruthless” trait which would turn your spirit color purple if your not a paladin, knight or juggernaut.
its likely hes a savant or just a mage who uses a magic who just so happens to have a expiremental spirit energy curse.
IF SPIRIT ENERGY CURSES ARENT EVEN CANNON IGNORE THIS MESSAGE SINCE IM NOT 100% SURE ON ITS EXISTENCE
still think its flare
pretty sure flare was mentioned to be like/a mutation of plasma magic, which has a purple variant
JTNs build thing has red flare, there is red plasma
Red Flare would make sense because stars would be red, and as much as I’d love purple flare (my main file uses purple plasma and is gonna get flare), suns don’t come in purple.
Ultra-violet is arguably basically purple (except we can’t see it so it’s not) and that is a thing associated with solar flares so like idk. One could argue
Yeah the “in an eye” part seems like a bit of a give away, plus storms and deserts aren’t typically thought of together. I’m still hoping for insanity curse just cause that would be cool, but storm with purple lightning does look kinda likely. I was also the first person to mention it being storm in this thread so I’m okay with that too.
