"Indeed, I could use a lesson or two more with my dagger as well. But I think the trade-off has served me well. As to 'useful' rituals, only time and situation will reveal."
Closing the book he is reading, Thom leans against the bookshelf and continues,
"Most of my study has been focused on spells that assist others during a battle. For example, a pillar of lightning that damages those nearby; and a cloud of ice cold air that not only damages the enemy but makes it more difficult for them to attack me or my companions. I have also learned to attack the enemy with horrid whispers that assault their very minds, distracting them from the battle at hand as they seek the source of the dreadful noise."
As he continues, a small smile begins to appear - his excitement is obvious in his more animated movements.
"But what I have been focusing much of my energy on recently is learning the art of the summoner. Imagine! Being able to call forth, and control, a warrior from another plane! Thus far, I have learned to summon a Fire Warrior to do my bidding in battle, and I hope that continued study will reveal even greater beings to me."
"I tend to stay at the perimeter of the action, as that is where I can be the most help to others - ha! 'to others!' - the truth of the matter is that I am barely competent when the enemy gets too close...a not-so-minor-detail that I hope to rectify on our journey. I will be bringing along some new spells to study that perhaps can aid me when things get a little more face-to-face."
