Childhood/Young Adult

Born at the edge of the city to very loving parents and 3 older siblings Regen always felt a little bit like the odd one out. Their parents are temple keepers, devoted to The Palace of Solar Sanctuary, and while a city temple may be smaller than you think they still managed to find a way to have a statue of each god active under the Solar Sanctuary plus a small shrine offered to the late God of Life. Her older siblings mostly followed their parents footsteps, serving as clerics of various gods, though mostly focused on the same house, practicing their natural talent for healing. Their oldest brother in particular being the head cleric of their humble temple. Having spent much of his younger years studying to devote his life to the way of Light.

Regen had no talent for healing, much to their own frustration. It all seemed too foreign, illogical and romantic even. And while admittedly didn’t spend as much time as she could have practicing it, abandoned learning it all together. It left them feeling empty and alone. While the family was loving and didn’t judge, it still stung. Very much feeling as if they had failed the family. Not letting themselves sulk for too long, they replaced the notion that healing magic had completely escaped her and started picking up books and replacing them for practical learning instead. Being fascinated by herbs and natural remedies in particular. It is not that nature and life caught her attention, it was more a way of proving that they too could do what her siblings seemed to do so effortlessly. What had started as interest almost became an obsession, sacrificing many nights of sleep to figure out new ways to implement new things they had learned. Simple herbal teas to help you sleep turned into sleeping potions, rubs into salves and before they knew it Regen had become quite proficient with the craft. This didn’t go without the occasional explosion or mishap however. It didn’t help that Regen was already clumsy by nature and would often be found with new bandages or bruises covering their arms after a night of experimentation. Somehow this didn’t seem to throw them off, where healing magic had seemed silly, there was a rhythm to experimenting and brewing. A recipe they could follow, a logical sense.

Seeing how much joy, though also somewhat motivated by concern of what might become of their basement, her parents motivated to follow her passion and go to an academy to officially study and become an alchemist. Without hesitation she took them up on their suggestion and hasn’t looked back since. While she holds respect for what her parents and siblings follow, they had found their true passion and with much dedication and determination managed to finish their studies. Which got her a job at a local potion shop!

Now

They now live a somewhat solitary life away from the quiet temple, in the middle of the bustling city. While still visiting it occasionally, especially to go say hi to her family as otherwise they would get an earful from their mother, she focused her time on helping around the shop with diligence. Though mostly still experimenting with new recipes and many a night spent with her nose in a book. Picking up new fascinations as they go and who knows maybe even new obsessions.

Flow

House of Roaring Tempest

Flow is a simple control of water spell. Allowing the user to push, pull or stop the natural flow of small bodies of water around. It does need water to be supplied as it cannot be made out of thin air. Very convenient for users to move water around from pail to potion bottle for example. It can also be used to move small amounts of other liquids, though pure water seems to be the most effective.

Purify

House of Lyrical Enchantment

A dispelling type of magic used to remove minor negative effects from potions, magical items or living creatures. Could be used to clear toxins, poisons and curses. The more severe the effect the more concentration and time is required and the more likely it is to fail.

Flash Brew

Palace of Solar Sanctuary

The user spends a turn quickly imbuing a vial of clear water with magical energy, the result leaves a potent single use potion vial. The vial will have to be used quickly after as the magic energy fades rendering it useless, leaving a murky liquid inside that will have to be cleansed before reuse. The user can choose between different options but can only choose one magical effect at a time, having to re-use the spell in its entirety if it wants to add multiple to one vial or create a new vial instead. One vial can only hold up to 2 effects at once. The vials are also less effective than potions with the same nature, and obviously can't be kept good outside of battle.
