I created this character from RoP: Magic (and HoH:Mystery cults). It was created as a companion level character for a medium powered saga I gave him autumn level experience points. The Magical qualities seem a bit powerful for a companion level character.
Would anyone be willing to check my work and see if this critter is in line with the guidelines, or if I missed something?

The Salamander Artesano is one a a colony of similar magical creatures that live on the shores of a (small) lake of fire which is located deep in a magical regio. Unlike his fellows, he considers himself an artist, he takes pride in crafting and fires both mundane and magical in the same manner as a vocalist or a chef take pride in their work. Artisano speaks fluent Latin as a result of his frequent association with the ghosts of fourth century Monks that share the regio with the salamanders.
