Imbue Staff A sorcerer or wizard may opt to forego a normal familiar in order to imbue his traveling staff with that portion of his power. To do this, he selects a quarterstaff-length of wood that resonates with his mystical signature and personality. It cannot have been previously enchanted (although it may subsequently be) and must be of masterwork quality. It must be prepared using materials costing at least 500 gp. The imbuing ritual takes 24 hours and ties a portion of the spellcaster’s power into the staff, a separate piece of his soul that grows in power as he does. Upon its imbuing, the staff becomes magically linked to its creator and is treated as a magic item.

Description Turnipin is very much a gnome. His little body appears like that of a human child of about three. A closer look reveals a very aged little fella with long hair kept in a neat ponytail. He is always well dressed and clean kept.
Backstory
Spoiler:
Turnipin was a odd little gnome. He loved art and magic and everyone thought he would make a fine illusionist. However, he tended to be more fascinated with the flow of ink across a parchment. He would copy any writing he could get his hands on. As he grew older he knew that he wanted more. He wanted to learn the alphabets from all peoples. He left home at a relatively early age (for gnomes) and entered the lands of the Tall Folk. He studied far and wide under scribes, wizards, and runesmiths. Along the way Turnipin discovered he had a propensity towards forceful spells. He bought a spellbook and began scribing the draconic runes of power for his own spells.
Traveling through Varisia, Turnipin met a fascinating old wizard who had the most amazing staff. The man taught Turnipin how to bound with such an implement. Unfortunately, not just any piece of wood will do. A wizard's staff is an extension of his being. The right wood would resonate with his soul and call to him across all of space and time. Turnipin spent many days and nights trying to hear his staff call to him. It is his heart's desire to find his staff. Then he came across a simple wooden spoon that forever changed his life's direction. The spoon was made from a rare wood and was reportedly made in a small frontier town, Falcon's Hollow.
Turnipin made the arduous journey to middle of nowhere. He settled in and now tries to make a living as a scribe. He often makes short forays into the surrounding countryside. He makes friends with any of the local druids he comes across.
