Merits and Flaws
- Diet (Paper): Like the species her Coadjutor came from, Cerulean Magus eats paper for nourishment, although most of her sustenance is actually derived from respired essence. She can eat things other than paper, but they provide no nourishment. [1]
- Twisted Sense (Taste): Due to the influences of her Aalu coadjutor, Cerulean Magus 'tastes' the words on texts she eats. [1]
- Vice (Bibliophile): The synaesthetic experience of tasting words is thrilling and addictive, although harmless. Magus is also quite in love with reading actual books instead of chewing them, and has little self-control in either situation. [3]
- Dark Secret (Spy): Infernal Exalts who willingly act against the interests of the Yozis are rare, and Magus is not one of them. When you spent a short lifetime weak and ignorant of the world, why would you act against the beings who raised you above that? [2]
