Fullmetal Archmage

Jasper was a magic-less porter in a world full of mages. Now he's an archmage in a dying world. Life was simple, although a little rough. He was content with practicing his painting, and filling his sketchbook with the vistas that inspired him.  Until, on a fated job, a suit of aetherium armor, and the Pigments, which color the world, changed everything.  Jasper's soul was fused with the relic after an act of bravery, leaving his mortal body behind. On Terra, mana is stored in the metals worn on a mage's body. Now Jasper's is made from the very best of it. Finding himself 100 years in the future, with a mana capacity far exceeding an archmage, his sketchbook full of art becomes his spell book. Passionate about the art of magic, he's quick to adapt to his new life, and a changed world. But a rash string of unprecedented natural disasters that drain the color from the land, and dangerous monsters wandering closer to the city, activated a hidden quest in the system. Simply, save Terra. Save the Pigments. Jasper's time for grand adventure is here! If the world survives long enough. Writathon early launch! Actual launch on Apr 13.
