Gale: Difference between revisions

From a young age, Gale was a prodigy with magic, manipulating magic like a skilled virtuoso plays music. He summoned a tressym, Tara, after his parents refused to get him a kitten. Gale used to attend The Blackstaff Academy, an educational institution for promising Wizards and Sorcerers. While he was only a child, his age unknown but assumed to be in teenage years, he believed he was destined for greatness. Irritated with everyone's lack of faith in him, he even went so far as to attempt a spell with the Blackstaff(as in the actual staff) itself, resulting in a portal that pulled him into Limbo, rather than his dormitory. Before Gale could face the Death Slaad he encountered, the Blackstaff(as in the person holding the title) pulled Gale back. He then had to spend months writing lines as punishment.

Gale's talent eventually drew the attention of the Goddess of Magic, [[Mystra]], who made him one of her Chosen. Mystra became a teacher, muse, and eventually lover to Gale. Longing to impress his Goddess, Gale begged her to give him access to forbidden levels of magic, which she repeatedly refused. He sought out a tome containing a scrap of Netherese Weave, hoping to impress Mystra by returning it to her. However, when he opened the book, something shot from the book into his chest, and his body became an unwitting host to an extremely destructive Netherese orb. To keep the orb inhabiting and corrupting his body in check, Gale must continually sate it with powerful magical artefacts - if he fails, the orb will detonate, bearing enough destructive power to bring down even whole cities, and Gale with them. As a punishment for his hubris, Gale lost his position as Chosen, and Mystra ceased contact with him.
