Comments for the GM

2 BP Left for whatever (Just waiting to put these out)
Spell costs (I've assumed that spells are considered Occult/Favored charms and thus 2,5 BP per spell due to Sorcery Focus)
Ivory Staff (This is a five dot artifact that is a great help for sorcerors, of possible powers I'm thinking a combo of Force Pike, Sorcery-capturing cord and the Sapphire Essence Understanding charm from Hundredfold facets)
Manse (For hearthstone I'm thinking a Sorcery Stone, but five dots instead of three, and thus more powerful. Exactly how I don't know how to scale, 15m for three spells perhaps? Or effect permanent? Possible req that it sits in the Ivory staff?)
Enemy (A powerful sorceror always have old enemies, considering the Lord's interest in Malfeas a powerful demon could be fitting, but as I'm, imagining the Lady as having had more dealings with the Fair Folk, possibly something from there. Take your pick (or both, that could be fun))
The Golden Tome (Hmm... just realized that due to training times not existing for spells that means the book is sort of redundant... I'll think about that one)
"Demon Allies" (I also wonder what background would be good to represent a couple of First Circle Demons bound to his service)

The Lady

An own small section for the Lady in Gold and Ivory. My view of her is that she is quite similar to the Lord, being a "bit" overconfident and rash, although as I said, more leaning towards Conviction than Compassion. This means that it is essentially that the past life that can take control from Throwback is the same as the aspect of his personality from Multiple Personalities. Some background about the Lady would be good to flesh out, I'll say what I've thought of so far.

The Lady in Gold and Ivory was one of the late First Age's most respected and feared sorcerors. From her splendid Manse palace the Ivory Tower, located where the desert of the South met the sea of the West and the Wyld, she would study the fabric of creation and the possiblity of anchoring it further into reality and expanding into the Wyld. Towards the Usurpation she became more and more reclusive and did not participate in the great calibration feast and it thus gave her time to prepare before the Dragon Blooded and Sidereals came knocking on her door. In an unprecedented burst of sudden realisation that she would not be able to withstand their combined might she quickly designed a spell to graft herself to the Exaltation shard when she died, and would thus survive until the next exaltation.
The Sidereal that turned out to having been the Lord's mentor was one of the Lady's closest friends, and it was thus that she was able to recognize her through the memories of mannerisms and personality traits that the Sidereal did not think to conceal to her student.

Prospective XP Spending

25 Spells/SorcCharms/OxBody 100xp


Own Notes

For opt. 6 non-marked charms plus 9 more for 15 starting charms. For 100xp 25 Spells and other charms (CCircle, SCircle and OxBody, musts). Leaves 10 more BP.
