| 23 | Spellcraft 15- Notes: This Talent allows a character to make Magic Skill Rolls when they do not otherwise have the correct Spell School Knowledge Skill to do so. Spellcraft may act as a proxy in the place of any Spell School Skill. Thus if a character needs to make a KS: Necromancy Skill check but lacks KS: Necromancy, they may make a Spellcraft check instead. Spellcraft will rarely yield the same depth of knowledge on a given subject as the appropriate Spell School Skill would, but is enough to get the general ideas of what is going on. Thus, a person with KS: Evocation would likely know things like the actual named theories involved with an Evocation Spell, and perhaps even things like the Spellcaster who discovered or invented the Spell and when, while a person with Spellcraft merely grasps its observable effects. |

| Background: Yortheon grew up in Tarantum and attended the University of Turant as a boy, learning to become a Warlock (as male Magecrafters are called in Vorgaa). He was one of the original students of Daelon Thar and instead of Magecraft was one of the first to learn magic according to Daelon's new theories of Wizardry. Yortheon flourished under Daelon's tutoring and was an early success for the powerful old magic user. After graduation, Yortheon stayed on with Daelon for a number of years helping to train new students in Daelon's methods, but eventually was offered a position to teach as head instructor of Wizardry at a University in far off Zarifin in a place called Farnock. Yortheon has had a very satisfying and successful life there in the 4 decades since, but without the guidance of the visionary Daelon, his understanding of Wizardry never really advanced. However, he was still good enough to hold his position as head instructor at the modest University of Farnock He married a girl named Orphelia late in life in his 40's and had a son named Orfolt who was something of a prodigy as a youth, so when the lad was of age, Yortheon sent the boy to his own homeland to attend the University of Turant as he himself once had. Life continued apace for several years, though Orphelia caught a fever and died of a flummox the first year Orfolt was gone. Orfolt got married to a nice lass he met at University the next year and had a son himself a few seasons later. Yortheon was a little dissaproving that the lad was burdening himself with a family while still in school, but his instructors indicated high marks, so no harm done. Yortheon planned to hold his position for another year or so and then transition Orfolt into the role after his return from University and was quite happy with his lot, though somtimes had sad thoughts of Orphelia. Then the terrible word reached him -- his son Orfolt had been slain in a duel with some upstart hedge wizard named Doran Murfon! To make things worse his daughter in law reportedly committed suicide afterwards from grief, leaving her child Falinor with her family. A terrible anger filled Yortheon then, and he vowed to have vengeance on this Doran Murfon villain if it took every last day of his life to do. Quitting his job he went to Turantum to collect his sons effects and had the additional shock of his daughter-in-laws family forcing the baby Falinor on him -- they were a common family and had little means to care for the child since they had invested all they had into their daughter's admission into the University. Unable to travel with the not-yet-four year old, Yortheon took lodging in Turantum and sought out to learn everything he could about his new and hated enemy Doran. Finally, a little over a year later when the boy turned five Yartheon set out with Falinor in toe. Two years later he still travels, chasing rumors of his target. Falinor is seven now and growing like a weed. He also shows tremendous potential as a Wizard, and Yortheon has been teaching him all the basics to while away the time as they scour the lands looking for the twisted killer who took Yortheon's son and Falinor's father. |

| Campaign Use: Sample user of the Wizardry Magic System With a modest selection of Spells to chose from, Yortheon is able to prepare a select list of Spells each day from his Known Spell List, tailoring his repetoire to suit what he expects to face that day. Further, able to learn any sort of Spell compatible with his flexible Magic System, Yortheon has practically endless growth options. |
