"Nothing of value comes without cost." The rifts seem to be a form of sorcery so I will learn how they work so that we might leverage them for our own ends.
"With friends like these..." Gunter's adherence to the old ways will be a detriment to change while Beck's failure to acknowledge them risks alienating potential allies. Therefore I will prove the value of open-mindedness to them both.
"The cost of power can sometimes be too great." The Dvergar are vile creatures with the vile sorcery, therefore I must learn of their weaknesses so we can exploit them in the fight to come.
Instincts:
"May the Sun light my way to safety." If I am physically attacked and injured, I unleash a prepared Sorcerous Fire.
"ABC... Always Be Collecting!" When encountering a rare or interesting substance, I always take some to use in future experiments.
"Wariness is a traveler's greatest ally." When entering a new place or traveling abroad, I always keep my eyes and ears on my surroundings.
