Customization Notes: The Bonisagus is most likely Driven to make some great discovery in magic. He or she is a so-called “lab rat,” a magus happier in his laboratory than in the outside world. However, the favors he owes and his drive to discover are likely to push him out. Similarly, enchanted items are very useful to him, but he is bad at making them for himself. That also tends to drive him into stories. This concept is built around the Virtues and the Driven Flaw; the other Flaws can be changed easily. Similarly, the Arts in which the character has an affinity can be changed, but that also requires changing the spells he knows.

Customization Notes: The Bonisagus is most likely Driven to make some great discovery in magic. He or she is a so-called “lab rat,” a magus happier in his laboratory than in the outside world. However, the favors he owes and his drive to discover are likely to push him out. Similarly, enchanted items are very useful to him, but he is bad at making them for himself. That also tends to drive him into stories. This magus's advancement focuses on exploring the potential of weather magic, but he feels not quite ready to dive into his own limit-breaking experiments yet.

New Spells:

The Overwhelming Gloom And Damp (CrAu 25)

R: Sight, D: moon, T: Group

This spell summons up an overcast sky, splotchy streaks of clouds stretching from above the caster to the horizon. The cloudy sky lasts for weeks, and periodically casts misting rain down from on high. Due to a quirk of the experimentation process, the unnatural clouds do not cover churchyards (And other strong divine auras), allowing beams of sunlight to pierce through, unless the natural weather covers it.

(base 1, +3 Moon, +3 Sight, +2 Group)

Calling the Spite of Vulcan (CrAu[Ig]25)

R: Voice, D: Conc, T: Ind

This summons up a swirling dust devil of winds and burning embers, two or three paces across and strong enough to knock around a full grown man. The swirling windstorm can catch a full grown man in it (Requiring a Strength + Size against 9 to escape). Anyone caught in the storm takes +5 damage every round.
