I'm an alchemist, my father was an alchemist, his father before him, and so on. Granted while my liniage is known for precise measurements in getting their results, I found it much faster and more effective to randomize the quantities and see if it works. That lead me to the creation of a small stone, you could fit it in your paw, which channels, amplifies, and even stores magic for use later on. Seeing as Metamor is known for it's magical qualities and brilliant scholars, I figured that the Keep would be the best place to continue my research and development of the stone. Sadly, I didn't quite take the proper precautions when traveling, and was chased around by lutins for well over a month. Barely got here with only my creation intact. I think you know what happens after that." He winked and smiled at Iasha. "Your turn."

Draykin: A very PAINFUL upgrade.
* Digital_Vulpine eeps, since the rules don't specify that I'm exempt from the psychic link that Wizards have with their familiars. o_o;
Geary: GET YOUR PET DRUNK.
