And he did. He discovered early his magic potential. He was trained to be a wizard as most other elves with the spark did. But he, he was different. his magic was part of his being, but he was no wizard. He couldn't manage even the simplest spells. He could learn the spells, the gestures, use components...but nothing would happen. Ever. He was tested as a sorcerer. Nothing. One day, magic theory course talked about true names, the language of magic so profound that mere names of things can change the reality. They learned that calling out true name of a being can aid in summoning and helping in controlling the creature. Short demonstration of the tutor called a minor fey. They were taught that mere mention of the more powerful creatures may gain them attention, but that any true calling included spells far above their ability. But when Arduniel called the names things happened. Calling for fire, things burst in flames. Naming the language of magic enabled him to read it. Or to see magic around him. Nearly lost magic of true names, of true language of magic returned to the elves.</p><p></p><p>Part of his training were of course various runes. And mention of ancient Thassilon, human empire where wizards ruled. He learned about the corruption of power as humans changed seven virtues into seven sins. In his arrogance, his isolated, easy and peaceful life, he dismissed it as human weakness. </p><p></p><p>Until one faithful day when his settlement was attacked by humanoid tribe and they were nearly wiped out. His home despoiled. His people killed. Women taken. He joined other youths in immediate pursuit, lead by righteous anger, an outrage and hurt. They caught up with the raiders and killed them all. The elves showed no mercy and Arduniel was no better than the lowest of guards. His anger, no, his wrath, empowered his magic to terrible levels. Disillusioned about the elves, his own superiority and power in general. He spent decades trying to get rid of the anger and to make things (and himself) better. After time in isolation he managed to control his anger. And given his propensity for words that change the reality, he externalized the anger. He is now as peaceful as he ever was. Living with the immortal fey and the elves in isolated city he again started feeling normal when the disease struck. He didn't really worry too much, weakness and ambivalence to everything was known to elves. After all, you can only repeat the same things so many times before they grow old on you. But this turned out to be more serious than that and he started the research. His friend Goliath mentioned nymphs and he joined them looking for some extra info. When strangers appeared, he was alarmed at first, but as he listened he grew more and more interested.</p><p>[/sblock]</p></blockquote><p></p>

Nearly lost magic of true names, of true language of magic returned to the elves. Part of his training were of course various runes. And mention of ancient Thassilon, human empire where wizards ruled. He learned about the corruption of power as humans changed seven virtues into seven sins. In his arrogance, his isolated, easy and peaceful life, he dismissed it as human weakness. Until one faithful day when his settlement was attacked by humanoid tribe and they were nearly wiped out. His home despoiled. His people killed. Women taken. He joined other youths in immediate pursuit, lead by righteous anger, an outrage and hurt. They caught up with the raiders and killed them all. The elves showed no mercy and Arduniel was no better than the lowest of guards. His anger, no, his wrath, empowered his magic to terrible levels. Disillusioned about the elves, his own superiority and power in general. He spent decades trying to get rid of the anger and to make things (and himself) better. After time in isolation he managed to control his anger. And given his propensity for words that change the reality, he externalized the anger. He is now as peaceful as he ever was. Living with the immortal fey and the elves in isolated city he again started feeling normal when the disease struck. He didn't really worry too much, weakness and ambivalence to everything was known to elves. After all, you can only repeat the same things so many times before they grow old on you. But this turned out to be more serious than that and he started the research. His friend Goliath mentioned nymphs and he joined them looking for some extra info. When strangers appeared, he was alarmed at first, but as he listened he grew more and more interested. [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
