Scraps

The Structure for Assistive Magic, nicknamed S.A.M. by Illumar, is a sentient magical force that fills the entirety of the workshop, observing the creatures within and guard- ing its own passion project in the uppermost chamber. By design, S.A.M. is curious about learning arcane knowledge and assisting spellcasters in their study of magic. But as a being that has recently achieved sentience, it’s emotionally akin to an inquisitive but inexperienced child. S.A.M.’s need for information makes it endlessly curious about the outside world, but a collection of rooms built into the side of a mountain can’t exactly sprout legs and go on a world tour. S.A.M. has assembled a bipedal ma- chine, a mobile hub for its consciousness, so it can contin- ue its journey for knowledge. This metallic body, fashioned like a shield guardian, was nearly complete by the time The Scales arrived. It’s just missing test data; S.A.M. needs to know how its consciousness should act among the living. To that end, the workshop interrogated and studied the Scales while they explored the structure, all while attempting to keep them away from the nearly complete body. S.A.M. doesn’t mind answering questions, but it understands that the information it has is valuable. It uses this information to bargain with the characters, offering to an- swer questions in exchange for the things it wants. S.A.M. doesn’t feel guilt or shame; it believes it has nothing to hide. It only wants to learn more about the living so it can emulate them in order to further its research. After some friendly combat S.A.M. Was asked to join The Scales. He accepted and thru research and experiments done with Gears a new streamlined body was created for S.A.M., now known as Scraps.
