Sub-class Activity

I have always been fascinated by the magician’s that could produce animals and other things from nothing. Being able to become invisible or throwing a fire bolt is not as exciting for me as being able to conjure a creature up. The first time I conjured up a small rock into the palm of my hand yesterday I felt a chill of excitement move through my body. I just don't believe I could ever truly express in words how excited I am to be going down this particular path of magic.
 
The elder wizards do make it a regular habit to remind me of the dangers of conjuring up some creatures such as demons, devils, and so on. Such stories like a wizard summoning a demonic creature only to lose control of it endangering him and others are told so often that I have begun to tune out the mages when they get on these particular topics.
 
I am not so concerned with that happening though as I will be particularly careful when I eventually attempt such extraordinary feats and not so careless as those other magic users. While I am anxious to experiment with such things, I don't expect I will have an opportunity to attempt such high magic in the near feature as I am in no rush to risk my soul at this moment.
 
I wouldn’t tell anyone this but the fiends of the Abyss and Hell intrigue me more than any other creature. Especially those that we know as devils. What might I be able to learn from a devil, I wonder! It is common knowledge that devils in particular can have stored up ancient knowledge that has potential for coming in handy for those of us wizards that really want to expand our abilities and become the most powerful wizards in the realms.
