[QUOTE="Lord_Gareth, post: 3250661, member: 48062"] [sblock=OOC] Well, finding out about the old college is pretty damned easy. Ask any random citizen of Porthaven. About eight years ago, the whole place went up in a surge of elemental energy. Now, anyone who survived it (most of the teachers) can tell you more. Endeca attempted to use a spell of her own design during the final examination. Through a combination of faulty construction, a missed syllable in the incantation, and the fact that she was attempting what would be a ninth level spell, the magic went awry. The whole school went up in the four cardinal elements. Endeca was the only student to survive. Cog, that reminds me. Endeca became connected with the four elements during that event, which is why her elemental spells are a bit...odd. If she does something (like what's about to happen) that shouldn't be possible normally, that's why. Just remember, it's part of her spell's somatic components. This is also why her fireball was like that. As to her family, that'll be harder to find out about. Endeca left for the school when she was barely 40. She hardly remembers her parents at all, and her parents wouldn't recognize her as she is (she was WAAAAAY less flamboyant then). I doubt you'll find anything more than very old memories, and maybe a mild longing to go visit. The village itself is on the ass end of the world; any further north, and they'd freeze to death even WITH magic. As to OOCing things before we RP them, it sounds like a good idea, but Endeca can reign herself in...for now.[/sblock] [COLOR=Purple]The tiny elf looks defaiantly up at Mem, her ire evident.
