====================================================================



Abilities:



Arcane Magic - Through the use of spells He can produce a variety of effects that are broken down into three categories.

Evocation - Quick and dirty energy based spells with direct action toward one or more targets in the immediate vicinity (no more than 100' distant) that are element based. (Fire blast-Uses Blasting Rod as a focus, wind gust, hail stones, and dust storm and Defensive Spells such as the basic shield spell that uses his bracelet as a focus. Without their respective foci, a spell become difficult to control.)

Divination - Psionic and perception based effects. These can have a greater range, but are slower to activate (Tracking, Psychometry, Remote viewing, Psionic Shield).

Thaumaturgy - This is ritual magic. It uses a small amount of power, to control a larger pool or reserve of energy to create more lasting effects (such as the creation of wards, magical foci (like his blasting rod and shield bracelet), and potions. It has the potential for even greater things, but that is beyond his current ability.



Skills of note:

Legend and Lore: He is well versed in the legends and lore of the world that lies hidden from those without the gift of magic. Beasts, legendary creatures and races, etc.

Arcane Lore: He is well educated in the science and theories of the Arcane, legends after all can have their origins in truth..

Ventriloquism: No, he couldn't be in that bucket...or down her blouse.

Sleight of Hand: He is quite good at simple street magic, card tricks, and the occasional pilfering of jewelry, which is usually returned.

Musical Instrument: Plays the Guitar, rather good for a hobbyist.

Enchanting: He can make simple tools, such as his staff, blasting rod, ring, and shield bracelet.

Alchemy: He can make potions for most any occasion, and no he doesn't do love potions.

Languages: He speaks English, Spanish, French, and Latin. He reads far more, many of them considered dead languages.





Combat Training: He is rather well skilled in the use of the staff, and open handed techniques derived from Aikido and Jujitsu.



=====================================================================



Strengths: Highly intelligent, hard working, a quite genial person with a penchant for being polite.



Drawbacks: Casting requires energy, with preparation he can draw the energy from his environment, but quick spells pull it from himself, and that is tiring.

Running water grounds his magic. ( Note: the water must be flowing over him to have this effect. Rain does not have this effect.)

Longest any effect will last without a source to renew its energy, is the following sunrise., those that last beyond that, require a lot pf preparation.

Really potent spells or workings, always require extensive preparation, a proper location, and often the cooperation of others to provide the necessary energy.



======================================================================



History: It all began where most things begin to go wrong for a kid...when his parents decided to make a new life...so much pain could have been avoided, if so many things had not happened precisely

as they did... He was a sickly child until his parents moved out of the city and moved in with his maternal grandfather, Jubal Harshaw. Though this aided his health, other problems began and

built one upon another...Then his world changed, when Jubal began to reveal to him the truths, that his parents could not understand...The old rough edged farmer was in truth a powerful wizard,

some times the gift skipped a generation...Over the next several years, he grew in body and mind, guided by the firm hard hands of Black Staff Harshaw, as Jubal was known in the community of

rather odd people attuned to magic. His parents passed when he was just fourteen, and the bad luck did not end there...then they came, and he had to put his skills to the test. In the end he was felled

and taken as a prisoner, where he languished stripped of his magic by running water, and tortured for days to reveal secrets he was not the keeper of.. The exact details of his escape are

unknown to him...but he does remember meeting his fairy godmother, and no it was not exactly a pleasant experience. He put his new found freedom to use, searching for a purpose to his life that went beyond revenge.
