== Story ==
 
== Story ==
Nigel grew up in a family of traveling street magicians. Frowned upon by the community at large, they got by on cheap parlor tricks and fortune telling.
 
He had an old grandmother that used to tell all the children grand stories of their ancestors wielding powerful magic and having wild adventures.
 
As she grew older the stories would get darker and more intense and became full of cryptic warnings of the perils of powerful magic and sinister foes. The rest of the family thought she was going mad, but something in the stories resonated with young Nigel.
 
In her last moments, she pulled him close and pressed some crumpled paper into his hand while whispering in his ear with her dying breath.
 
Nigel was not entirely sure what she had said in that moment. He looked down at the indecipherable scrawl on the paper as he replayed her words in his head.
 
It was a language he didnt recognize, but it was clearly some sort of phrase. The words started to form in his mouth.
 
As he spoke the words aloud it was like someone had flipped a switch inside of him. Suddenly everything was clear.
 
The magic, the adventure, the danger, the warnings, it was all true.
 
Looking down at the slips of paper, he could now clearly read them. They were spells!
 
His grandmother's dying phrase was forgotten the second he muttered it, but now he knew the truth. There was magic in his blood.
 
 
With his few meager spells and what little belongings he had, Nigel left his family.
 
He could no longer live day to day doing cheap tricks for children in the street, not when he knew the truth.
 
 
He would venture into the world and join the great college of magic. He would become a powerful wizard and restore pride and honor to his family name, whatever the cost!
 
  
 
== Discussion ==
 
== Discussion ==
Jive and I have discussed a few things in regards to magic in the setting.
 
We are thinking that magic is a very uppity and official business. "Real wizards" are graduates from the college and licensed magic users.
 
Any unlicensed magic users are considered hedge wizards "at best" and frowned upon by society at large. Maybe even persecuted by particular sects or in certain areas.
 
The college generally has a large up front fee to join, which helps keep the class system in place. Wealthy families and nobility usually being the only ones who can afford entry.
 
 
Nigel turned to delving to get by and he hopes to find magic in the dungeons. For personal use, or to use as a means of entry into the college.
