Bio:

Born of the fleeting union between Sylaria of Evermeet and the Archwizard Gondorlin of Everlund, I spent my first six years in an idyllic paradise, full of magic, beauty and splendor. Truly, nothing comes close to the joy of Evermeet, where the elves' long years allows for perfection in even the smallest of details. It also takes them a long time to reach decisions, which was the only reason I wasn't expelled the moment I was born; half-elves don't belong at Evermeet, you see? There's nothing perfect in the blight that is my heritage.

Sent to live with my father, I found little peace in Everlund, so full of bustle and corruption. As a powerful enforcer, my father had little time for me back then, and I admit to making things harder for him with my constant comparisons and nitpicking. He could have been a good father, had I given him the chance, but back then he just seemed too... well, human. He had magic, which was one of the few things that interested me, but I only ever saw those lessons as a way to connect him to my mother rather than to appreciate him in his own right. He sent me to study in Silverymoon; I think he was trying to introduce me to more half-elves, show me that I'm not alone, but back then all I saw was another parent telling me to leave.

Looking back on my time at the temple of Mystra, I was a rebellious youth. I spent more than my fair share of nights in the local jail; not for any serious crimes, but pure delinquency and boredom. It took me many years to understand what the priests were trying to show me, to understand the things my father told me, but of course I am part elf; I move too slowly for humans, and by the time I came to appreciate him, my father had already succumbed to old age. Now, magic is all I have left of either of them, although it is so much more than that. Alustriel once gave a demonstration to us initiates of the might of Mystra, of her love and care. I will never speak of that day, but neither age nor experience shall ever take those memories from me.

Upon graduating, I was encouraged to continue my education through experience, to bring Mystra to the lands even as I learn more of her domain. Unlike most of my fellows, I decided to travel east through the Anauroch, spending time with various Bedine tribes before moving south towards Cormyr and the Dalelands. I have made a name for myself among the less fortunate folk, giving freely of the blessings my goddess provides, and more recently I was picked up by a group of adventurers to lend aid in their endeavours. And now, we're on our way to meet Lheo, and perhaps Elminster himself! Things really are starting to come together quite nicely.

Spell Research:

Magic User:

Transcribe:
1st level transmutation
Range: 5 ft.
Components: S, M (enough parchment and ink to complete the transcription)
Duration: 1 round/level
Casting Time: 3
Area of Effect: The material components designated
Saving Throw: N/A

When cast, the spellcaster can put their thoughts to paper without lifting a finger, causing words and pictures to appear upon the blank page remotely at the speed of thought. This is of course a feat of concentration on the spellcaster's part; if the caster attempts to transcribe external information, such as reading a book or listening to a conversation, or else suffer any distraction then they must make a successful intelligence check to retain their focus throughout. On a failure, the caster's thoughts wander, causing the transcription to smudge, and they must make a save vs spell or take 1d4 damage +1/level of the spellcaster. Due to the concentration required to enact this spell, the average spellcaster can transcribe from a written source at a rate of a single page per round.

This spell will not function with more costly material components; due to this, it is impossible to make functional scrolls or spellbook-quality transcriptions through use of this spell. However, it is possible to use the product of this spell as a template for later transcription using the necessary time and resources; recreating a spell in this way is harder than it would be from a properly written source, and thus requires an intelligence check to correctly recreate the spell.
