Usually, this information comes from a library, scriptorium, university, or a sage or other learned person or creature. Your DM might rule that the knowledge you seek is secreted away in an almost inaccessible place, or that it simply cannot be found. Unearthing the deepest secrets of the multiverse can require an adventure or even a whole campaign.

A small pair of pince-nez perch at the end of my nose. I am completely bald, with a wispy white beard. I am 4’2” tall, and weigh 145 lbs. I believe that I am over 200 years old, but I lost count some time ago, having much more important things to occupy my thoughts.” BACKSTORY At an unusually early age, Caulder was admitted to the dwarven college of Khaval Krognyte as a distinguished fellow due to his revolutionary work in the field of alchemy. Among other things, Caulder is usually credited with the invention of Alchemist's Fire. In his obsession to devise a much more potent form of Alchemist’s Fire, he eventually began to delve into forbidden lore. After a tremendous explosion rocked his lab, the Provosts’ Council learned that he was conducting secret experiments involving arcane magic, and he was dismissed from the institution. Chafing under the constraints imposed upon him by his closed-minded brethren, Caulder left Citadel Adbar and traveled to Candlekeep in order to continue his research unimpeded. His efforts eventually took him into the field in search of rare reagents and obscure tomes, and also in an effort to further his understanding of the arcane arts. He firmly believes that the key to unlocking the secrets he needs in order to complete his research lies with mastery of the arcane arts. Awards and Distinctions: Caulder was voted "Most Likely to Blow Up Half of Faerun" by his colleagues at Khaval Krognyte. Quest - Caulder's Clinging Conflagration: I am researching a powerful new spell the idea for which was conceived during my earliest days as an academic when I was trying to fabricate a new and improved version of Alchemist's Fire. When completed, the spell will coat all targets in its area of effect with a flaming gel that sticks to the skin and burns for as long as a minute. I am constantly in search of rare reagents and obscure tomes that might assist me with my research. The list of books and reagents that I am hoping to acquire is fairly lengthy, and includes such odds and ends as the gizzard of a fire drake, the spleen of a lava mephit, the heart of a salamander, the eye of a magmin, and Otmer's Treatise on the Alchemical Properties of Oozes. Quest - Caulder's Cataclysmic Conflagration: My true magnum opus will be a new spell called Caulder’s Cataclysmic Conflagration, which involves splitting tiny magical particles in order to unleash vast amounts of energy into the universe. I’m not quite sure how much energy will be released, and quite frankly, I am not overly concerned about it. The furtherance of my research is the important thing!
