Tradition: Minor Conjuration
Starting at 2nd level when you select this school, you can use your action to conjure up an inanimate object in your hand or on the ground in an unoccupied space that you can see within 10 feet of you. This object can be no larger than 3 feet on a side and weigh no more than 10 pounds, and its form must be that of a nonmagical object that you have seen. The object is visibly magical, radiating dim light out to 5 feet. The object disappears after 1 hour, when you use this feature again, or if it takes any damage.

History

Used all starting and gained money to study objects of conjuration
Started off as a sailor, tried to join pirates. He was an embarrassment. He was sold to a evil wizard, to be used in experiments, but the wizard saw his aptitude. We was used sort of – the master trained him as a Conjurer, to trick and swindle locals. They eventually came after him with torches and pitchforks, but he evaded them. They tracked him back to his master’s tower and burned it to the ground. He used his conjurer powers to block a drain and keep the fire out – surviving. He picked up what he could and made off with it before the townsfolk came back in the morning.
Pryk’s Bastards were the stories he rew up on; Pryk is his hero.
Had to change his name, in honor of Pryk, changed to Preck.
Merowey – Caithlin wars just ended.
Town (pop 300) of Fandrast, west of Merowey. Ended up in Merowey.
