His whole deal is using both magical and physical properties of items and organisms and extracting said properties to create magical effects.

They use special words ( verbal components ) as well as gestures ( somatic components ) To channel their own, innate magic. While other classes use verbal and somatic components, the ones wizard use are many times more complicated as they carry more magic than those of other classes. In other words, for most classes they serve as a key to channeling magic but to wizards the components are both key and door. |

| + | On the night of our arrival at Jardins capital we were paid a visit by a white rabbit. He came bearing a message: either make a deal with the Hag Evelyn so that she may leave, or suffer inconceivable consequences for the next 3 days.

| + | Upon our return to the Prince of desires our promised rewards were granted. My wish was to live for 10,000 years while only aging until 25. I implore you, reader, whoever you are, who have one way or another attained my journal, to understand the reasons behind my wish. The greatest flaw of humanity is the short time we may walk this world. For many, the only way to leave an impact is purely by having children and hoping that their bloodline may one day do a great deed. This is far from what I want of my story. Instead, I have given myself enough time to be a master of my trade and thus one day impact the world with my discoveries and creations. | ||
| + | |||
| + | I know eventually I will be lonely. All those whom I love and care for will either before my eyes and eventually months will feel like weeks, weeks like days, and days like seconds. But I refuse to allow these pains to limit me. I will rise above all obstacles in my way and achieve my goals, one way or another. | ||

| I lost my seeds. The soldier that took it had an indentation in its shoulder pad. I will never forget this soldier till the day I die. The potion I have obtained is very…complicated. Im not sure what its going to take for me to figure out what it is, but I doubt I can do it with my own abilities. If only I could contact my college profesors… Truly an incredibly interesting day. The unicorn almost killed us and all we had to show for it were 3 things, the seeds which I no longer have, the mysterious potion that appears to be actually an incredibly complicated compound, and a spell scroll of a magic I cant completely wrap my head around. | I lost my seeds.

I know it might seem small, but the damage it could have done to who i did it to might have been incredible. Im honestly thankful I was caught doing it.

| - | I need to remember one thing while I am here. While this land may seem to be a much larger improvement compared to where we came from (and it is), it can only look like this likely because energy is being sapped from the other end. This is by no means safety. The only difference between here and there is that the other side didn't hide its nature, but I think this side does. | ||

| - | Another day alive! No changes in my condition as of yet. I was a bit out of it while the party was doing things though, but I think it might just be exhaustion from travel. The parties conversation with the major were wonderful and informative. However, the major himself seems to always upcharge his items and down charge his offers.

Didn't really get a chance to talk to him myself, but I plan on doing so tomorrow. Hopefully I can also obtain insights into the liquids and the mysterious potion.

| - | ON OTHER NEWS. | + | The librarian told me that the liquids are greatly concerning. They are, in some way, tied to an incredibly powerful creature that can be found inside the feywild.

| + | Got around to testing the vials I was given from the cellar. While there is too little in them to test them properly, the least I could do was testing the smell. Needless to say, the results were not what I was expecting. Both me and Gimblehorn can't smell anything in specific from them, Tami and Anaise, however, did. In fact, it smelled so strongly and so horribly that they took damage from it. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The only difference between Gimblehorn, me and them is that they are Fey. | ||
| + | |||
| + | I don't think I need to say how concerning this is. I had already some suspicions that whoever was creating this was making some kind of weapon, but now it seems much more like a reality. This could easily be further developed into a lethal biological weapon to kill the Fey of this land. | ||
| + | |||

I gotta say, despite everything going on (specially today) I am pretty happy and I think its because the munculus is working. I could probably make my thesis on this… | ||

| + | Well, Skabatha is dead. Caligos went down a couple of times and we were all hurt pretty badly, but otherwise no casualties. GR33N-P (I decided to call the hag munculus green pea 2.0, but this feels like the right way to write it) was more than useful during the fight. | ||
