Description

Isaac is a human of average build with flaming red hair that is thinning on top and just beginning to grey at the temples. He has a goatee that he often strokes when deep in thought. When relaxed and in his mage's workshop or painting studio, Isaac can seem unimposing. When ready for "adventuring" in his archmage's robes, ioun stone(s) floating about his head, Isaac projects a much larger presence.

Isaac has adventured with Albard, Kazoth, and Gregor from a young age and has deep loyalty to all of them. He takes his responsibilties as Gregor's "court wizard" very seriously and uses his considerable magical ability to ensure Altendorf's well-being. In his "spare time" he is a cautious planar traveler and has made expeditions to three of the four elemental planes. (He refuses to go to the plane of water and in fact has a mild phobia of large bodies of water due to a near-drowning experience when the group dealt with freshwater sahaguin early in their travels.)

The best way to get on Isaac's good side is to compliment his paintings. That, or slip Haplo a platinum piece and ask for an introduction.

Spells Known

Spells come from the following sources. Free = spells he started with or received as his two 'free' spells for leveling up every level. Iggwlv = spells he copied from Iggwlv's spellbook. Scrolls = Scrolls discovered during adventuring, as given by Xaos. Bought = Scrolls bought and scribed from starting cash.

Spellbooks

Isaac uses two Boccob's Blessed Books ("Blessed Book" in SRD) to record his spells in, both of which he crafted himself using his 'Craft Wonderous Item' feat. One book functions as his 'primary' book and comes with him when he is adventuring. The other is a 'back-up' with all of the spells duplicated. It is kept in his tower in Altendorf, concealed behind a false wall stone and an arcane lock with a note: This spellbook belongs to an archmage. Steal it and I will hunt you down and make you suffer. I can do it. I know 'Discern Location.' Yours truly, Isaac Emberblood.

By utilizing Blessed Books, Isaac does not have to pay scribing costs. He would have had to early in his career, but I am assuming he sold that starting spellbook for the price of the scribing costs invested in it at some point.

Nosnra's Spellbook: Isaac has Nosnra's spellbook(s), which contain All spells of the Abjuration, Divination, Enchantment and Illusion schools in the SRD + Complete Books, up to 6th level.

Isaac usually leaves at least one spell slot per level "open" when preparing spells, so that he can memorize specific spells as the situation demands. He typically has a contingency active. He is fond of Evocation, Enchantment, and Illusion spells. He utilizes Planar Binding spells extensively to deal with Elelmentals and elemental-related outsiders (such as genies), but he deals with fiends and celestials only when he has no other choice.
