A new friend?

The elf nods to Wilhelms response Not bad... Let me add a bit to your answer...first off the unseen servant, last decade it was affirmed by Irvin academy that the unseen servant is indeed an elemetal, if specific the most primitive kind of air elementals, without a whisk of self awareness and only able to act by following an order. An instrument, if you please... the elf takes a crystal from his pocket and squeezes it in his hands, it slightly glows and an illusory images projected on the wall. It is a comparison between an air elemetals and unseen servant's magical aura's, the two indeed do look alike... Though the elementals aura is really bright and we'll visible, compared to almost non existent servants aura....Now can someone tell me why the unseen servant is not a construct?

The elf quickly raises her hand and without waiting to be called out answers It is because it lacks any form, it is shapeless,when in turns constructs all have a physical body...

Good. Now onto the next topic, while devil's, fiends, monstrosities, fey and celestials do indeed have questionable moral compass, the beasts will always be a safer bet, though their potential in turn is quite limited. While some creatures can still be bound by a contract, we summoners still should be really careful when voicing our orders, so that we don't get stabbed in the back. Unfortunately a badly given order is one of the top5 mortality causes between casters... the illusion changes showing some poorly formulated orders, that can be easily used in a loophole against the summoner and a better alternative next to it. After a moment the Elf continues But at all costs wizards should be weary from coming into contact with the creatures classified as chaotic, their behavioral patterns are impossible to study, hence they are absolutely impossible to predict.! he quickly goes over some scenes and creatures bringing demise over the unfortunate summoners .... He stops at a strange image of a human - shaped dark veil looming over a woman, she looks unsuspecting....you recognize the creature, have seen it many times because it's a shadow Can someone tell me about the creature?? the teacher asks.

Almost immediately archy jumps to his feet answering. It's a shadow right? I heard that they live beyond the mirrors edge and that if they ever encounter their owners they will attempt to kill them on sight to end both of their existences, is it true? fires burn in the lads eyes as he answers...


He nods Yes you're indeed right, the good thing is that it's almost impossible for them to enter our plane, if a portal is not opened from our side and that the things are pretty specific, when it comes to their victims... Every living creatures has a shadow in a recently discovered plane that is parallel to ours, it is called the mirrors edge. Why? Because the place where the two planes are the closest turned out to be a broken piece of a glass mirror .... There was an expedition to the plane though, all that went there and returned soon dissapeared without trace. The association of arcane research believes that their shadows killed them, so that both of them could ciese their existance... then he moves on to other bad examples such as mephits, lesser devil's, monstrosities and why summoning a swarm is a closed space is a bad idea... At the end of the lecture, he sits behind the desk and tells everyone We're done for today, please hand the essay on the analysis of a certain creature, review on summoning pros and cons, in by Monday.... If you have any questions please stay behind, i will address them shortly...

The first tome contained a theory of possible binding rituals using the magic of old, it depicted a ritual which included the binding of an additional entity to a living vessel... the description was vague but Wilhelm did notice a similar magic pattern that was used by the student that helped him with the opals... what was he doing? summoning a familiar?

The next one was a thick guidebook on summoned creatures, but the content mainly repeated what was looked over in the lecture, as he closes the book, he sees that the author of the tome indeed was his teacher - Honair.

The first article binder was mostly contained with failed experiments on forcing good creatures to be bad and vice versa, that mostly ended up with the death of the assistants doing the experiment, it contained many pictures and schematics, though none of them were even close to yours...

On the other hand the other binder contained a bit of info on a man named Alex Magewell, the surname rings a bell - yes your father had a friend named Magewell, you can say that his citations were all over the articles that researched, well mostly speculated about the possible way to alter moral compass using an ancient method preformed by the hags of old, where the creature was given a new moral compass via branding, unfortunately those branded didn't survive for long taking their own lives, to end the suffering...there was an incomplete schematic image of the brand. Magewell must be the leading researcher.... only if you could get your hands on his work for more information...

The last one was a scroll that contained the basic instructions and steps needed for summon familiar spell, the scroll is useless for casting, but good enough for transcription, next to it there were a couple of crumpled papers with the compass scheme and a bit of blood, it looks like someone wanted to change familiars moral compass and wasn't lucky with the endeavour.

As you finish going trough the literature you catch yourself yawning, how long have you been here?? you dont know, for the library Is located underground, so that time and weather doesn't affect the process of studying, but you do know that you have been here long enough to feel absolutely exausted.

Another thug (3) gets shoved towards the street with well worked foot work he keeps onto his feet as he calls out Hey I think that the damned demon ran this way! While he does the the shadow sinks into the wall leaving the men confused, with a then the same one calls out to others Come on! We must stop him, I bet the clergy will pay handsomely for catching a demon worshipping scum!, it looks like that one, was the courageous one of the group. As you run you can hear footsteps leaving in the opposite direction.
