Interresting! Just brainstorming here, but could he know different versions of each/some of his spells and be able/eager to tell us all about it as he casts them? "Did you know that the barons of Estreshire used to dabble in necromancy?"He's a pretty classic bookworm sort, so I see his magics coming from study, and from studying as many sources as he can. For that reason, it actually makes sense to me that his spells wouldn't necessarily manifest thematically.

By the by and on a completely different tack, have you given thought to Kog's method of transport? Cauldron has his riding dog, Fengar the Indefatigeable will likely walk(?) and I imagine WD's paladin will ride a golden destrier of some sort. For some reason, I'm thinking a cart or wagon would suit both Kog and Shayuri's Oracle, being the holder of campy confort, small libraries and all that. Would that fit with your vision of him?
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. too many girl friends?
I guess that logically leads to a side-question for Rhun though: are we going tp be travelling in terrain that's at all wagon-friendly?
