Summarization Activity

by Erik Pale

Erik was born to Mular and Zia Redhorn in the city of Isondale. Mular is a member of the city watch and bears no special status. Zia is an alchemist and herbalist who owns a wagon in the market ward. Erik, from his youngest years has wished to become a wizard and begun his journey by taking up the job of scribe to a wizard that resides in Isondale.
 
At the age of 13 Erik became acquainted with Jirzis Fogflaw, a wizard that had visited his mother's wagon several times for various herbs and the like. After about a year, Jirzis offered to take Erik on as a scribe, and thus began his journey.
 
While Erik was learning alongside Jirzis those other mages at the tower begun giving him the nickname "The Pale" because he is so very pale compared to others at the tower. Other than that, he was a fairly normal scribe, and was not officially entered into the academy as a student, as he did not have the funds to apply as a student. Whatever he may have learned was all garnered while he was working as a scribe and servant to Jirzis.
 
As Erik continued to work for his master, he had several adventures and even some rather horrifying moments also. Erik learned early in his "career" at the tower learned to speak draconic, which was not remotely easy, but Erik felt this was an essential piece of knowledge to acquire. Erik intends to use draconic in all of his spell books to add his own "flavor" to his writings. Erik did notice that anytime he casts a spell his eyes glow with a white undertone as if the moonlight was in his eyes. This was very interesting, or it seemed so, for his master, Jirzis, and his master suggested that he would go ahead and take him on as an actual apprentice when this was discovered.
 
Master Jirzis Fogflaw begun the long task of teaching Erik the ways of the wizards of the white robes in Krynn. While they were not in Krynn, he insisted that he believe they understood magic the best, and this was the way to handle the matter.
 
Erik's staff was a gift from his master, which he added the moons of Krynn to, along with three crystals he had found in a cave on one of his outings. This is an item that Erik treasures and is very protective over. He also has a very large collection of "spell component" items in his room at the tower which he insists that he much maintain and continue to build even though is master continuously reminds him not everything he finds will work as a component for a spell. Then there is also the lens which Erik carries in one of his pouches that will supposedly allow a user to see the black moon, Nuitari, in Krynn. Erik has determined if he is ever able to visit his master's home world, he will have to try and use the lens at least once.
 
Now Erik does have a considerably large fear of mimics, and a bit of a fear for anything that might be able to disguise itself as other creatures, or objects. Unfortunately, Erik has not only witnessed the deaths of others because of wizards, but he has had his own close calls with the creatures and so he has developed a particularly strong fear of mimics specifically. He has developed a taste for red wine since his time at the tower because the school keeps cheap red wine in supply and provides a regular ration to all of the students, and staff at the tower. He has loved carrots since his earliest days because he was able to eat as many as he wished for as long as he can remember.
 
Erik also had the privilege of living with and working with the satyr community of Frandyln at the behest of his master. It was Master Jirzis opinion that Erik spends some time with another community other than what he was used to at Isondale, and so Erik chose to stay with a fey community in the forest. After five years of living, training, and so on with the Satyrs in Frandyln he has come to have a better understanding of the fey folk and their magic.
 
As Erik continue to learn and expand his own skills as a wizard, he begun study the concepts and magics around conjuring other things and creatures into existence. Erik decided that this is the magic he counts as his most favorite, and so he is focusing on conjuration magic over all other forms of magic. It is his hope that he can use such magic to summon creatures from other planes of existence to continue to increase his power and knowledge concerning the magical arts. Erik dreams of becoming one of, if not, the most powerful conjurers known in the realms.
 
An incident that happened recently is affecting Erik's ability to continue to expand his skills, however, and that was the meeting of the Hadozee Aakscree who arrived at the tower and immediately attempted to befriend Erik. One particular incident most recently happened with Aakscree was excited about something and barged in while he was working on casting a new conjurations spell for the first time. As he was attempting to create and cast, for the first time, he accidentally pulled the hadozee girl into the caster and before he knew it they were one creature. Not just one creature in the sense of they having been accidently blended into a mixed body of human and hadozee, but in the sense that they are in each other's heads. It would seem that when Erik wishes to be the "dominant" he not only takes control of the body, but the body transforms from her body to his. It is as if he and she are one person, but not one person.
