So in this week’s episode my son’s Elven Wizard used his “Contact Spirits” spell to find out what was making all the noise approaching the camp they had made alongside a forest trade road. He called on “the spirit of sight”. Which took me back a notch, I was expecting something more specific or arcane.
Obviously the spirit in question did it’s best to describe the triffid that was stalking them…. Not the most useful spirit to call, granted, but inventive nonetheless.
speaking to him about it this afternoon, i mentioned that it wasnt how i had seen the spell working in my head. he replied “well thats because i’m an elf wizard and they are bound to be different from normal wizards”.
nice to see player characterisation not determined strictly by the rules.
Ross Kingston your son gets it.
