Grand Evoker Cassandra Vasilka
Mistress Cassandra Vasilka (a.k.a. The Pleasant Bomb)

Mental characteristics
Accomplishments & Achievements
Unsurprisingly as an elf, Cassandra ranks as one of the oldest members of the council, and the only one to have ever been made a council member twice. Born in the now ruined city of Myrrinesburg, Cassandra was said to be born for evocation. She served as a battle mage of the empire during the closing years of Second Drow War earning her moniker for her abilities in combat and affable friendly nature. After the war came to a close she would become a mage at the Arcanium on a military scholarship. There she would officialize her famous spells, Cassandra's Land Mine, Cassandra's Hellstorm, and her thesis: Cassandra's Even Greater Fireball. Soon she would rise to hold the Evocation chair as a then Populists, however after the Helgrid Incident she would only return to the seat three hundred years later, and when she returned, she did so as a conservative, focusing on the need to treat magic with caution and the respect it deserves.
Also due to her famously friendly almost maternal nature, and focus on student safety, she has been elected "This Year's Student Body Favorite" 84 times.
Failures & Embarrassments
Her greatest failure is the famous Helgrid incident in which a student in her class, known as Helgrid, famously blew a hole in the fabric of reality opening to the elemental plane of ice. The temperatures froze the class immediately including Cassandra. The then Grand Conjurer sealed the class in another demiplane before the world was frozen. Miraculously when the demiplane collapsed three hundred years later, the hole had shut, and though all the students and Cassandra were frozen dead, they were so preserved that Cassandra was rescuable with revivify, though most of the other students, including Mistress Helgrid, were not saved in time.
This event would profoundly change Cassandra as she became much more concerned with safety and the sheer power of gifted evocation students.
