You’ve always had a spark of talent within you, perhaps the ability to literally conjure forth sparks when agitated or excited. Ever curious about the world and the power within you, you have never shied away from experimentation with your magical powers. In your youth, this caused your family endless grief and singed eyebrows. Now, having mastered the basics of arcane magic, you seek to continue your study and uncover ever deeper mysteries of the fundamental wellspring of magic. | You’ve always had a spark of talent within you, perhaps the ability to literally conjure forth sparks when agitated or excited.
