[QUOTE="jester_gl, post: 5155498, member: 86093"] The first goddess of Magic was Mystril, killed by a 12th level spell named Karsus' Avatar. Karsus was very briefly the god of magic, but the very act of killing the previous goddess of magic rendered his spell unstable and gave him the power but his body could not support it. Spells went awry everywhere, destroying the kingdom of Netheril and forming the Anauroch as the weather controlling spell that pushed back the glacier went wild. Ao (the overgod) saw the problem and appointed (created) the original Mystra so that she could prevent the whole planet from being destroyed by wild magic. She disabbled 10th, 11th and 12th level spell and put lots of limit on magic that weren't there before (material component and limit by level aka 10d6 fireball max for exemple). She in turn was killed by Helm during the Time of Trouble. After the tablet of Fate were returned to Ao, Midnight became Mystra basically because she was wearing Mystra's necklace. So Karsus is the 2nd god of magic. Often forgotten or barely remembered, he lives on as an indestructible status somewhere up north in a place called Karsus' folly. [/QUOTE]
