[QUOTE="feartheminotaur, post: 6834121, member: 6801354"] Dimmen Wald, a Mage of the 7th Circle, always wanted to be an adventurer. It was a dream that lead to his death. Dimmen specialized in Evocation magic, especially that which burned, during his formative years, believing that dungeon delves and exploration expeditions required brute force - monsters and foes vanquished in a whoosh of magical flame. He soon learned that there was more to it. As Dimmen traipsed across the known world with his fellows, seeking gold and glory, he learned (a few times the hard and painful way) that a mage in the wilds needed a diversity of magic beyond his beloved burning magic. Rituals to guard the camp; divination magic to see and understand magic; wards to protect or hide from, as well as remove, the effects of that magic; magic to trick and fool those of weaker mind; and most importantly, ways to remake and reshape the world to provide both the comforts of home and the necessities of survival in the wilderness. Sadly, he met his end in his 28th year of his life when he was swept away while crossing a river swollen with snow melt and drowned. His comrades, unable to locate the body, left a simple stone marker on the riverbank. ++++ Gnomes are crazy little buggers, you know that? I traveled with one, many years ago. Indobble Mist-i-something. Just crazy. Once set a guy on fire, easy as you please. Loved to trick folk, loved to play pranks. Like kids. Hell, even though he was a pretty powerful wizard and his prized spellbook went missing - he just shrugged his shoulders and went on his merry way. Now, if you want a real story, buy me another pint and I'll tell you about the time I looked a dragon square in the eye - and spit in it. [/QUOTE]
