Thumedan is the older brother of Madlawakanahgy the Druid.  Thumedan was born in Nyandar in 1490 V, thirty years before the birth of his most well-known ally, King Grimhelm of Silvergate.  He dresses in white robes, and was about 75 years old when he was killed by Yam ibn Saud in 7 VIII, and usually affected a long white beard.

He is a member of the original Guardians of the Silver Tree, and was the Guardians' primary source of arcane magic and lore.  

Combat

Thumedan fights with spells first and foremost, although he is quite proficient with his Staff of the Magi or his magic dagger if the need for melee arises. He often uses his Energy Substitution feat to modify a spell that uses energy (acid, cold, fire, or sonic) to use electricity instead (Ex. he can change Ice Storm into an Electric Storm).

Spell Casting: He can cast four zero level, six 1st level, five 2nd level, five 3rd level, five 4th level, five 5th level, four 6th level, four 7th level, four 8th level, and four 9th level spells per day (all cast as if he were a 20th class level wizard).  He has in his libraries and spell books all spells found in Player's Handbook and in Tome and Blood, both published by WotC.

Psionics:  Thumedan is a first level shaper, and has 5 power points per day.  He can manifest Trinket, Daze, Missive, and Psycholuminescence.  His psionic combat modes are Empty Mind, Intellect Fortress, Mental Barrier, Mind Blast, and Mind Thrust.  He has several dorjes available and are listed below among his Magic Items.

High Arcana (Su): As a second level Archmage, Thumedan has learned secret lore unknown to lesser wizards and sorcerers.  Thumedan can channel arcane spell energy into arcane electricity, manifesting as a bolt of raw magical energy.  This bolt is a ranged touch attack with long range (480 feet) and deals 1d6 points of damage per level of archmage plus 1d6 points of damage per level of the spell channeled to create the effect.  Therefore, if Thumedan channels a seventh level spell into arcane electricity, then it does 9d6 points of damage if it hits.  Further, Thumedan has arcane reach, and can use touch spells on targets up to 30 feet away.  If the spell requires a touch attack, Thumedan has to make a ranged touch attack.

Spell Mastery (Ex): Thumedan is so familiar with five spells that he can prepare those spells without referring to a spellbook.  These spells are: Lightning Bolt, Disintegrate, Shape Change, Chain Lightning, and Electric Orb.

Elemental Transition:  As a Lightning Savant, Thumedan is so familiar with lightning, that he can turn lightning spells into fire, cold, water, or sonic attacks.  He cannot change lightning into acid or earth spells, however.  He is also immune to magical sleep effects.

Lightning Resistance (Ex): Thumedan is fairly resistant to lightning, with a 5 resistance.

Lightning Focus (Ex): Thumedan has learned to better manipulate lightning, so the save DC for any spell using that type of energy (including spells he has changed using the Energy Substitution feat) increases +1.  This stacks with his Spell Focus feats, so a Lightning Bolt (a lightning energy spell of the evocation school) has a +3 increase to the save DC (in Thumedan's case, the total save DC for Lightning Bolt is 21).

Lightning Penetration (Ex): Thumedan has further refined his ability to wield electricity.  When he casts a spell using electricity, he gains a +1 competence modifier on caster level checks (1d20+caster level) to beat a creature's spell resistance.  This increase stacks with the bonus granted by Thumedan's Spell Penetration feat, giving Thumedan a total of a +3 bonus to beat resistance when casting electricity spells.

Rod of Thunder and Lightning (9 charges left, acts as a +2 light mace when used as a weapon.  Once per day it acts as a +3 light mace and impacts with the sound of Thunder, stunning the victim (Fort save vs DC 13 to negate).  Activating the Thunder power is a free action.  Once per day a spark of electricity can leap forth when the Rod strikes an opponent, dealing +2d6 damage of bonus electricity damage.  Even when the Rod might not score a normal hit in combat, if the roll was good enough to count as a successful touch attack, then the bonus +2d6 bonus electrical damage still applies.  This power is activated as a free action.  Once per day, as a standard action, the rod can create a Thunderclap of deafening noise, just as a shout spell (DC 14, 2d6 points of sonic damage, target deafened for 2d6 rounds).  Once per day, as a standard action, a 5 foot wide Lightning Bolt (9d6 points of damage, DC 14) can blast from the Rod to a range of 200 feet.  Once per week as a standard action, the Rod can combine the Thunderclap described above with a forked Lightning Bolt.  This is effective to a range of 10 feet around the bolt, and a single Reflex save (DC 14) applies to both effects, halving damage.
