I think with Wild Magic, you don't need to have a source, it's just like a magical anomaly in you

Gimblyn Tumtwig Figglebauter
Male Forest Gnome Sorcerer Guild Artisan



Background
Gimblyn Tumtwig Figglebauter is a meticulous bowyer part of a small community of forest gnomes who live in the outer borders of the Neverwinter woods just east of Neverwinter. They are known for the fine craftsmanship and generous nature. The community has been around for hundreds of year, not always in the same spot. The Mt Hotenow being so close to a large port city provides many options for a sustainable life. The rivers in the forest never run cold and the Guild Hall in Neverwinter is a great source of information and work. Gimblyn owes everything to his guild, he would go at great lengths to protect them.... and they have proven to do the same for him.

When Figglebauter was young, he noticed a strange change in his natural aura. The way he felt and interacted with the environment felt different, in a way he couldn't explain. One evening, while Tumtwig was frolicking through the thick green of Neverwinter woods, a pack of wolves blinded by hunger attacked the forest gnome. Not being a skilled fighter, Gimblyn was scared for his life. The first of three wolves pinned him to the ground, feral barks wetting his face with slobber. The forest gnome closed his eyes and pushed the wolf with all his force. As he pushed, he could feel the flow of the forest extended out through his finger tips in a fire bolt. The wolf went flying back, landing hard and yelping in fear. The gnome, scared himself, stood up in awe of what he had just done. Within seconds, the wolves were circled by a wall of flame. A loud shriek cut through the air as the flames intensified, completely engulfing the wild animals. A few whimpers later and the wolves were dead.

This event devastated Gimblyn, he had never hurt anything before that moment. The loss of control scared him, especially with this hidden power within his little gnome body. Seeking answers and help, Figglebauter searched for mentor. Someone who had experience with magic and was one with nature. On his search, he came across several people ready to abuse this new found magic. Gimblyn would not allow that. Eventually, he found a male druid by the name Reidoth. The druid had been known to be like an almost guardian of the rune of Thundertree. Seeing the good heart of the gnome, Reidoth trained him to control his wild magic more effectively. However, he is still not able to control the random side effects that occur when the magic is released.

Now, Tumtwig continues his training in the woods while using his bowyer background to act as a distraction when times get rough. Reidoth has recently asked the forest gnome for a favor, which he agree to without question.
