Seiden The Enchanter

   Quite some time ago, there was a game where you determined your characters abilities almost entirely at random – including what kinds of spells you could use if you happened to be a spellcaster. In fact, if you turned out to be really good at “fire magic” – getting, say, a score of 22 – you simply named 22 spells, then rolled on the appropriate column (Hopelessly Unsuited, Badly Suited, Ill-Chosen, Acceptable, Suitable, Well-Chosen, or Perfect “for the task”) at +22 to see how you did when you wanted to use one of them.

   As it happened, the character I rolled up turned out to be a grand master of enchantment (albeit poor at most other magic), with a score of +42 out of a possible +45 for mortal magi. Seiden wasn’t much good at direct magical battle without his gear – but he was really good at getting ready for it and at enhancing the rest of the group.

   Here, for no particularly good reason save inspiration for other games, is a list of his enchantment spells.
