In an upcoming campaign, I am going to be playing as a drow noble who was born without the ability to use magic (either just his spell-like abilities or any spells, I haven't decided yet). Because of that, he was exiled at an early age, and wishes to, as he would say "set things straight". In order to do this, he is going to retrieve the Sceptre of the ages, which he believes is in the vault of Abadar (the vault with one copy of everything, name might be wrong). He believes the vault is locked with the Impossible Lock (the one that can't be opened except by the Perfect Key). So he is going to get the key, and open the vault, to get the Sceptre. Using the Sceptre he is going to go back to the beginning of time, slay Asmodeus right after Asmodeus kills Ithys (thinks that's how it's spelled), in order to be the only godlike being left. He is then going to convince the life forms that evolve on the material plane that he is a god, so that they worship him. He believes that their worship will grant him divine power, which is equal to magic (at least in his mind). The only problem is, I have no idea why he wouldn't have magic, because I have no idea why magic is accessible to anyone (except gods, because, well there gods).

Sorry for the wall of text. Long story short, where does magic come from?

I am going to be starting a mythic campaign soon, starting at level 1, and I am planning on the boss for the first adventure being a level 1 or 2/MR 1 enemy, with the players ascending ,both to MR 1 and level 2, upon it's death. The only problem is I don't know what enemy to have them fight, so I was wondering, what level 1 or 2 enemy could provide a good mythic challenge for level 1 characters, without making it too difficult?
