Muriel Duskmantle

Name: Muriel Duskmantle

Muriel is the last heir to a tradition of arcanists who learned to scribe spells onto their very body as magical tattoos in a process of exquisite dance and motion. More intuitive than wizards, but less forceful than sorcerors, these magic users rely on their perfection of motion for their art rather than on perfect mathematical understanding that more traditional wizards use. A wizard of this arcane order is a far more mobile combatant, and often adopts some sort of martial tradition, such as swordsmanship or archery, blending his magic and martial mastery into a single style greater than the sum of its parts.

As a possible downside to this form of casting, the magical tattoos that prepared spells form are highly visibly as magic. They move across the body in strange migratory patterns as the arcane adept moves, and many glow with a highly visible coloured light, shining out from clothing and pulsing with a rhythm that might be the adept's heartbeat. Due to their nature, Muriel wears concealing bandages on her arms and legs, and a dark cloak to better aid at stealth. Still, she cannot disguise herself completely, and strange symbols drift across her face- or shine out from her eyes, giving her an otherworldly appearance at times. As a note, spell components are consumed when a spell is prepared, not when it is cast, being subsumed into the magical tattoos.

Muriel is often 'that hot chick in skimpy clothing' or 'the girl', and thus male enemies, especially centaurs and gnolls, will make her a priority target- usually for the purpose of capture and unsundry purposes.
