When most adventurers think of a gretchling, they might imagine a small fae creature attempting to steal their hard- earned magical equipment. Though juvenile gretchlings are typically seen as annoyances at best, those that collect enough magic to reach maturity are quite distinct from their juvenile counterparts. While many young gretchlings are content to scavenge what little magic they can find in small trinkets and scrolls, older gretchlings often find ways to seek out magic more directly. The forms of magic they consume throughout their adolescence may shape this path, and there are three common patterns that their growth follows.
