I don't mind you changing but up to Max
Change a few things if you wish.
New Version of Tyrion. I goofed on some math early on and fixed it by adding 5 years to his pre-apprenticeship (which means his parens kept him as a caged guinea pig for even longer). Skills, Arts and Spells are radically changed. Other changes are highlighted in green. If anyone wants to see the worksheet, I can post it as a PDF.

The Baroque Peasant Hut
Creo Terram 25, Touch, Mom, Individual, Ritual, Mastery 1, CT 32
Similar to Conjure The Wizards Tower, only the resultant structure is a single story, 1-room cottage. While the exterior is a single block of stone with only minimal design elements (gargoyles in the corner, etc), the interior returns to Tyrion’s usual style of artifice, with many hidden spaces in the interior wall. You can actually design the chambers within, including a 2 "story" version sized for men of diminutive height, which may be partially below ground.

Base effect, +2 Voice (As per Demon's Eternal Oblivion, only for magic creatures)
Store The Essence
ReVis 15 (Terram) Touch, Mom, Ind, CT 14
As the Gather The Essence of the Beast spell, only transferring the vis to a suitably prepared receptacle of appropriate Shape & Material, and applies to all sources of vis, not just corpses.

Creo 10 In 6 Mu 10+3 Pe 1 Re 2
Au 10 Co 10
Spells (200 lvls)
x Lungs of the fish MuAq(Au)20
x Wreaths of Far Smoke CrAu15 [range sight version without the sulphur ArM5 125], focus applies
x True sight of the air InAu15, focus applies sometimes
x Dragon’s breath MuAu30, harnessed [changes the air into a corrosive green smoke cloud; Range voice, duration: diameter; does +15 damage], focus applies
x Move the cloud ReAu 20, harnessed, tethered [moves a cloud, including the character himself in cloud form, as he wishes – but no faster than a cloud during a storm], focus applies sometimes
x Cloak of Smoke MCoAu40, harnessed [like cloak of mist from the core book, but with smoke] , foucs applies
x The lusty maiden, harnessed CrMe15 [makes target “horny”]
x Change a cloud of smoke into a pebble MuAuTe20, harnessed, tethered [allows the magus to store clouds of smoke in pebbles that can be shot with a sling, he – or anybody else can end the spell as needed], focus applies
x Speak with Air InAu25 [works best in closed rooms, the air remembers things differently than a human would, see ToME story about the evil flute for an example], focus applies sometimes
Spell Sigil: the smell of smoke (not as uncommon in the middle ages as in the non-smoking 21st century with its alternative energy sources)
Open questions:
- Is the magus okay so far?
- How do I handle getting a familiar in the 5 years post gauntlet (spend xp? Spend time?)
- Does Fumidus start with a lab at the new covenant?
-
ideas for 10th virtue/flaw?
Sounds fine by me. I assume that the math is ok.
Q: Is the magus okay so far?
A: I think so.
Q: How do I handle getting a familiar in the 5 years post gauntlet (spend xp? Spend time?)
A: Spend a season, write a few words on how you did it and get a familari of moderate power.
Q: Does Fumidus start with a lab at the new covenant?
A: Yes but it is a inherited one. Look for a magus who has a lab but has not participated in stories lately. If that seems to be to tedious or to difficult then just take a -1 size lab with some virtue and flaw that does not necessary agree with your magus.
Q: ideas for 10th virtue/flaw?
A: Perhaps something that impairs your magic such as a difficulty with spontaneous magic (as a compensation for your flawless understanding of spells) or something similar.
Note: I realised that animals don't like smoke, so I decided against a familiar.

nothing special
: invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3140898/
Bonus: 4, which means no experimentation needed in the second season of generating the spell
lab: Frederick's undecorated lab seems fine (player Thijs: 119 posts, Last visited: Mon Aug 03, 2009 10:50 am) and very empty.
Something about this covenant attracts perfectionists. Lots of flawless magic sorts. Personally I think it is good since it means nasty auras aren't as bad for us.
As for familiar, if eventually you go for a dragon familiar or some soft of fire spirit (spirit familiar), the smoke won't be bad. Just need to get your arts up.
