[QUOTE="Isida Kep'Tukari, post: 3083920, member: 4441"] I have myself an idea or two, lemme lay them out: Flummerfelt Turngastle - A gnome illusionist of exceptional skill, he has become one of the youngest to join the ranks of the Manifest Spellshapers. "It was rather funny how it all fell out, you know. Da was a magewright... and Ma... and both brothers and all three sisters. Practical people; Da and Ma were tinkers, tin makers, Tullfarim and Gelthiamia made metal jewelry, copper and brass mostly, and Vivianna, Querna, and Probokot were jewelers and gemcutters. "Now me, I was the youngest, and that stuff drove me to distraction. I liked [i]looking[/i] at it and using it, but taking the time to make it and getting all the little fiddly details right each and every time... boring! I like the magic part of it all fine and dandy. That was exciting, and each time it was new, even it if was the same spell! But I didn't care to be shackled to a shop the rest of my life. What can I say, I was born with a broader mind. Da and Ma, bless their hearts, didn't insist that I stay. They apprenticed me to Great-Uncle Bluebottle, and that was the start of a beautiful friendship! "He was a good master as well as a good uncle. Great sense of humor, that man, and that's saying a lot coming from me! I'm a fun-loving guy, and Great-Uncle knew what I was looking for with my magic.
