"All right."
Constantine hurriedly helped the Old Mage over to the seats. There were seven seats in the Rock of Eternity, representing the seven mages of the Wizard Council.
Unfortunately, thousands of years ago, the previous Shazam—Black Adam—had clashed with the Wizard Council, allowing the seven deadly sins to break free of their seal. To seal them again, all the other mages had died, leaving only the Old Mage clinging to life.
It was because of this incident that the Old Mage set such high standards for his successor. They had to possess a pure, unblemished heart.
