Ioun Sling 1/Short Rest – The character releases the orbiting Ioun stones and they fly at up to three targets within 30′. The character uses their Action, Bonus action and Reaction all at once. The stones are like sling bullets, doing D6/3 blunt damage plus an accuracy bonus equal to the characters Intelligence bonus.
Defensive Ioun Shield 1/Short Rest; lasts 10 rounds – The character may use their Reaction to grant themselves AC bonus = INT bonus against all attacks. This requires 3 dead, heavy Ioun stones to enact and requires their Reaction each round thereafter to keep the shield in place. Also, as a Reaction, the character may use a dead Ioun stone to deflect a blow (reduce result by one). The stone drops out of orbit and ends the shielding AC bonus. The remaining stones may be used in a similar fashion until the end of the 10 rounds.
CROWN OF FLAME 1/Short Rest; lasts 10 rounds – Can imbue each dead Ioun stone with Produce Flame cantrip (each on has its own concentration (max = Intelligence bonus) and causes it to appear as a white hot star shaped mote). They absorb one of each dice of fire damage on any hit. These can be used as a Reaction to either hurl it (gaining a bonus to damage = proficiency bonus) or as a Warding Flare (enemy attacker her has disadvantage on an attack and takes damage equal to the characters proficiency bonus). This takes a number of rounds to prepare = # stones.
Prepared Spells = 8

> House Malor: Detect Thoughts
You can temporarily alter the physical properties of one nonmagical object, changing it from one substance into another. You perform a special alchemical procedure on one object composed entirely of wood, stone (but not a gemstone), iron, copper, or silver, transforming it into a different one of those materials. For each 10 minutes you spend performing the procedure, you can transform up to 1 cubic foot of material. After 1 hour, or until you lose your concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell), the material reverts to its original substance.

Old Black Hound Nickname: “Star”
Basics of Growing Up: [Vale Evander] Her parents, in desperate times, had sold her off to the troupe of Elon (gypsy) performers. They treated her well and she has fond memories. The Elon folk she was raised with venerated Ezrilus the moon mistress. In the troupe she was a dancer, fire-eater, and had small acting parts. It was at one her festivals in the Vale Evander that she met Aerd Corwin. Her obvious aptitude to magic attracted him to her, and he offered to take her on as an apprentice. By now, she was long free of debt to the Elon folk and they wished her well and she left to learn magic.
Apprenticed to Aerd Corwin, who was tried and his tower burned. Dania was one of two apprentices, neither of whom had any clue that their master was part of a Dragon Cult. Insidiously infiltrating into the Vale’s council, he was eventually discovered through the magic of the Elves of Ynth. The tower burned, and Dania burned. She fled from the tower as it was collapsing, and fire was everywhere. Before she died, she took the master’s burned out Ioun stones for herself. In the flames of the burning tower, she tapped into magic she did not know she had. A vision came to her of Merkaine, the goddess of fire, and the shrine to her that Dania’s acting troupe she was with in her early days came upon and cleaned and cleared (this was a happier time). She embraced the flame and in turn was protected from its worst… she has been an ardent follower of the goddess and green church/wyld faith ever since.
Gellows Refellow in Mev is the head of the order in Bar-Innis. Star has spent weeks in seclusion with books, teachers, and unending study of scrolls and spells. It is a crash course in the policies and teachings of House Malor. Word was sent from Torrelsons Ford that a Gwinnish knight from a fallen order was trying to restore his memory, in order to provide House Malor with knowledge they could use in the fight against them. The first mission was to be accompanying Pops and Fish of the Blackwells to the Crystal Chamber in Torrelsons Ford. The weather delayed the journey and when Star arrived, two members of House MAlor and one elite bodyguard were dead. Fish’s body was found the following day and the flooding of the chambers had trapped the remaining member of the house and drowned the guard. Elancil’s name was all over the work. Star was tasked with tracking down his old companion and bringing him to heal.
