This never worked out real well as a roleplaying shtick, but it did result in Piratecat giving her a really cool astrolabe as an item at one point, and Alix's player giving me a gift of a wonderful pair of D20s with the astrological symbols and planets on 'em. I've never managed to use them in gametime, but they are so very pretty they have a place of honor on the trophy shelf above my desk next to Audrey II, Dylrath's jawharp, Bun Bun, and The Bottle of Ultimate Wisdom.I can't describe Velendo's spellcasting. Somebody else will have to. Economy of expression doesn't begin to describe the effectiveness of his technique. Maybe the woeful expressions of Tevye the Milkman and the comic timing of Billy Crystal gets a little closer. Maybe you just had to be there.</blockquote>
