0-Level (At will)
•Dancing Lights Depending on the version selected, you create up to four lights that resemble lanterns or torches (and cast that amount of light), or up to four glowing spheres of light (which look like will-o'-wisps), or one faintly glowing, vaguely humanoid shape. The dancing lights must stay within a 10-foot-radius area in relation to each other but otherwise move as you desire (no concentration required): forward or back, up or down, straight or turning corners, or the like. The lights can move up to 100 feet per round. A light winks out if the distance between you and it exceeds the spell's range.

•Ghost Sound Ghost sound allows you to create a volume of sound that rises, recedes, approaches, or remains at a fixed place. You choose what type of sound ghost sound creates when casting it and cannot thereafter change the sound's basic character.
The volume of sound created depends on your level. You can produce as much noise as four normal humans per caster level (maximum 40 humans). Thus, talking, singing, shouting, walking, marching, or running sounds can be created. The noise a ghost sound spell produces can be virtually any type of sound within the volume limit. A horde of rats running and squeaking is about the same volume as eight humans running and shouting. A roaring lion is equal to the noise from 16 humans, while a roaring dragon is equal to the noise from 32 humans. Anyone who hears a ghost sound receives a Will save to disbelieve.

•Mage Hand You point your finger at an object and can lift it and move it at will from a distance. As a move action, you can propel the object as far as 15 feet in any direction, though the spell ends if the distance between you and the object ever exceeds the spell's range.

•Prestidigitation Prestidigitations are minor tricks that novice spellcasters use for practice. Once cast, a prestidigitation spell enables you to perform simple magical effects for 1 hour. The effects are minor and have severe limitations. A prestidigitation can slowly lift 1 pound of material. It can color, clean, or soil items in a 1-foot cube each round. It can chill, warm, or flavor 1 pound of nonliving material. It cannot deal damage or affect the concentration of spellcasters. Prestidigitation can create small objects, but they look crude and artificial. The materials created by a prestidigitation spell are extremely fragile, and they cannot be used as tools, weapons, or spell components. Finally, prestidigitation lacks the power to duplicate any other spell effects. Any actual change to an object (beyond just moving, cleaning, or soiling it) persists only 1 hour.

1st-Level(2/day)
•Grease A grease spell covers a solid surface with a layer of slippery grease. Any creature in the area when the spell is cast must make a successful Reflex save or fall. A creature can walk within or through the area of grease at half normal speed with a DC 10 Acrobatics check. Failure means it can't move that round (and must then make a Reflex save or fall), while failure by 5 or more means it falls (see the Acrobatics skill for details). Creatures that do not move on their turn do not need to make this check and are not considered flat-footed.
The spell can also be used to create a greasy coating on an item. Material objects not in use are always affected by this spell, while an object wielded or employed by a creature requires its bearer to make a Reflex saving throw to avoid the effect. If the initial saving throw fails, the creature immediately drops the item. A saving throw must be made in each round that the creature attempts to pick up or use the greased item. A creature wearing greased armor or clothing gains a +10 circumstance bonus on Escape Artist checks and combat maneuver checks made to escape a grapple, and to their CMD to avoid being grappled.

•Silent Image This spell creates the visual illusion of an object, creature, or force, as visualized by you. The illusion does not create sound, smell, texture, or temperature. You can move the image within the limits of the size of the effect.

Weapon Net -3 (-) A net is used to entangle enemies. When you throw a net, you make a ranged touch attack against your target. A net's maximum range is 10 feet. If you hit, the target is entangled. An entangled creature takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls and a –4 penalty on Dexterity, can move at only half speed, and cannot charge or run. If you control the trailing rope by succeeding on an opposed Strength check while holding it, the entangled creature can move only within the limits that the rope allows. If the entangled creature attempts to cast a spell, it must make a concentration check with a DC of 15 + the spell's level or be unable to cast the spell.
An entangled creature can escape with a DC 20 Escape Artist check (a full-round action). The net has 5 hit points and can be burst with a DC 25 Strength check (also a full-round action). A net is useful only against creatures within one size category of you.
A net must be folded to be thrown effectively. The first time you throw your net in a fight, you make a normal ranged touch attack roll. After the net is unfolded, you take a –4 penalty on attack rolls with it. It takes 2 rounds for a proficient user to fold a net and twice that long for a nonproficient one to do so.

A glance at Jaevin would not betray his elf heritage but the perceptive would notice that his long scraggly auburn hair sits out a little more than it should around his ears. Perhaps they would also notice that his baggy clothes hang a bit too loosely around his tall figure, as though he hadn’t eaten in weeks. However, his normally beaming face with shining green-blue eyes and fair complexion betray the fact that Jaevin is perfectly healthy. Maybe then will they realize he is a half-elf.

Jaevin’s Human mother was one of the more prominent “employees” at one of the more popular brothels in Caliphas and, as most would suspect, one plus one eventually became two. Even after Jaevin was born his mother continued working long hours into the night. But by no stretch of the imagination was she a bad mother, she certainly could not be called a good mother either, sometimes she was just a little too “enthusiastic” about her work. Nevertheless, she always was able to provide her son with more than enough food and had a nice apartment one of the better wards in the Midland.

As Jaevin started to get older his mother began staying out longer and longer, though never too long for him to really begin worrying. She would always check-in to make sure he was okay at least once a day and leave him cute little notes at home when he was out looking for parts to build toys. Notes that he now regrets he didn’t keep. These toys were quite the contraptions using different compounds to create various effects. Jaevin loved showing his mother all the new things he created while she was out for the week. Commonly he would tell funny stories with the toys, manipulating them with magic and giving them a life of their own. His mother would always be so proud of all the things he made and how every story was more intricate than the last, although she would constantly warn him of using his gift outside of the house because there were many people who would take him away and she would be very very sad if that were to happen to her little boy.

Unfortunately, a few weeks before his tenth birthday his mother did not return home, no notes were left for him when he came back or when he woke up in the morning. Worry started to set in, and by sundown Jaevin was panicking. He knew she worked in middle class district but no idea where exactly. Then he realized he didn’t even know his mom’s name, at least he didn’t think “Mom” was her actual name anyway. Sadly, the story was basically the same everywhere he visited. “Get out of here you pathetic rascal. I work for my money, and ain’t got none to spare for you.” That was echoed everywhere, even though he had plenty of money (well plenty for a child of ten years of age) and was just trying to find where his mother was.

The morning of his tenth birthday held quite the surprise, though not of the good kind. Jaevin awoke to the loud sounds of furniture being moved. He peered out of the small hole his room into the common room and saw four men in the room, two of them talking. “… been nearly a month,” were all the words Jaevin could make out of the huge burly man moving the table. From behind the man, a much shorter man dressed in nice clothes appeared, standing with an air of arrogance and in a snobly accent replied with a smirk, “well Larz, that is what happens when you deal with him.” His demeanor shifted, suddenly anger, “Now hurry up and quit wasting my time you lazy asses! I want to be out of here in time for my lunch date!”

Jaevin tore himself away from the wall and rapidly began stuffing as much as he could into his bag. He then cracked open his door slightly and waited for an opportune time to try and escape. After several minutes Larz started moving the huge dresser from the corner, picking it up as though it were a large chair. As he began headed for the door Jaevin saw his opportunity, he quickly put his plan into motion. The sound of glass shattering in the other room was enough to cause a couple of the men to stop and the big man to hesitate and look back. Then most of the cooking utensils fell from the counter sending up a bit of confusion among the workers. Larz was nearly at the door and the other three were investigating what was going on. Jaevin greased the floor under Larz and bolted from his room. Larz slipped and crashed into the doorway, the dresser splintering both itself and the wall. Leaping at just the right time Jaevin cleared the collapsed Larz and tumbling dresser and into the street. “GET HIM!” yelled the short man, but by the time the others maneuvered through the door Jaevin had disappeared into the crowd of people into one of the surrounding alleys.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------

Later that night as Jaevin was looking for a place to sleep for the night a tavern ahead of him burst open and along with a was a roaring applause. A beautiful, probably the most beautiful, woman Jaevin had ever seen moved through the door and two men were working a restraining more than a few drunks that were trying to follow her. “See you all next week. It has been a pleasure,” yelled the woman to everyone as she shut the door. Turning around the woman was shocked to see the tear-stained face of a boy staring up at her. She took a few paces forward towards him but remained several feet away and knelt down pulling her hair behind her ears to reveal the slightly pointed tips. “You look a little upset tonight, would you like to tell me what’s wrong?”

Jaevin just shook head and looked down at his feet.

“It’s okay sweetie, you don’t have to tell me anything at all, I understand. As a matter of fact I grew up just a few streets from here. There is a place run by a few worshipers of Shelyn, they’ll take care of you. Want me to show you were it is?”

Jaevin continued to look at his feet, shifting slightly, and shook his head almost imperceptibly.

“Alright sweetie, I hope you are going to be okay, be careful around here, it isn’t the best of parts. And if you do find you need anything at all I’ll be here next Sunday. Or you can just ask the owner where you can find Liliana. He’ll point you in the right direction.” She said, gesturing to the tavern she just left. She got up and turned to leave, “Good Luck.”

Jaevin watched Liliana walk down the moonlit street, after she was about a hundred yards away he meekly yelled out, “Wait! Show me!” Tears started streaming from his eyes again and he started running, but his feet didn’t seem to cooperate with his head. “Wait!” He yelled again, this time a bit louder, but still she didn’t hear. Jaevin ran faster, and so did his tears, “Come back!” He was much closer now about fifty yards, but then he tripped over a loose stone in the street that he didn’t through his blinding tears. Stumbling he fell hard to the ground tumbling a few feet. He just lay there tears coming out like waterfalls, “wait,” he sobbed, “show me.”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------

“Sweeeeetie, do you know where my dancing shoes are? You know the kids will be very disappointed if they don’t get to see your sexy wife dance today!”

“The kids? I’ll be the one who is disappointed if my sexy wife doesn’t dance today. Besides, the kids want to laugh and have fun, they can’t appreciate your beauty quite yet. They are much too young. As for your shoes I have no idea.”

Liliana chuckled, “Well, Jay, more than a few of these kids are older than you were when we first met. AND I quote, ‘You’re cooking is almost as beautiful as you are.’ ”

Jaevin face flushed to bright red, “I don’t remember saying that. How do you remember something like that from what, 21/22 years ago?”

“Because I just do.” A huge smile crossed Liliana’s face as she pulled the shoes from underneath Jaevin’s stuffed backpack. “Now let’s hurry up, those sick kids don’t have all the time in the world like we do. Plus if we have time later we can go visit your favorite orphanage,” A knowing twinkle in her eye.

“Visit?! WE practically live there… STILL live there, kind of. But I must be modest here, the kids absolutely do adore me so,” Jaevin replied, laughing.

“Only because you spoil them rotten with your toys and fancy tricks,” came the returned jest, “anyways they like my cooking better than your toys. So HA!”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------

As Jaevin and Liliana walked on their way back home they heard a terrified voice down one of the alleys, “N-no,” Jaevin dashed down and towards the alley, turning the corner he saw a hooded figure hunched over an elderly man on the ground. “You’ve got-you’ve got the wrong guy, I didn’t do anything.” [Unintelligible language] “Yes, I am D-Dr. Lorrimor, but-but I have no idea who y-“ Jaevin tackled the hooded figure to the ground, both tumbling to the far end of the alley nearly into the street on the other side.

The hooded figure got up. “Bad move,” a deep gruff voice resonated out of his cloak. Picking up Jaevin the figure threw him back into the alley against the same wall the Professor Lorrimor was on.

“JAEVIN!!!!” Liliana screamed as she watched her lover fly through the air. The figure looked up, realizing all the commotion going on would summon the guards, and he ran out into the street on the far side and disappeared.

Jaevin stood up shakily and turned to the man still on the ground, “Are you okay sir?”

“Yes, I believe so. That was quite an interesting twist of fate,” said Professor Lorrimor as he got up and dusted off.

“So, what was that about?”

“You know, honestly, I am not quite sure myself. Interesting fellow for sure he was.”

Liliana grabbed Jaevin from behind and whirled him around and started checking him for injuries. Jaevin gently grabbed her hands, “I’m fine Lili, just a bit banged up. I’m still standing, right?” Liliana’s face relaxed a bit and she nodded.

One of the nightwatch came around the corner, sword at the ready, “What’s going on!?”

Jaevin quickly responded before Dr. Lorrimor had the chance to say anything, “Not much, Tarvick, just a petty thief attacking this guy here.”

“Ah Jaevin, good to see you,” replied the guard, putting his sword back into its sheeth. “Normally you are a bit more subtle in your investigations though,” he chuckled.

“Well yes, normally I am, except this wasn’t an investigation, just convenient timing.”

“Haha, alright, if everything is okay here I’ll see you later.”

“Be safe out there Tarvick.”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------

“Lili is going to LOVE this,” Jaevin whispered to himself looking over the gorgeous violin in his hand. “I cannot wait to see the look on her face.” Jaevin skipped home through the streets merrily waving at everyone he came across. Jaevin was so excited he practically tore the door from its hinges, “LILI!! GUESS WHAT I GOT TODAY!”

Liliana turned around from the table with a piece of parchment in her hand, “Ooohhhh! Is that what I think it is!?”

Liliana turned around from the table with a piece of parchment in her hand. Her eyes grew twice in size and her jaw slowly fell open, “Ooohhhh! Is that what I think it is!?”

“Of course, silly, what else could you think it was?”

“Wellllll, if you must know, there is this guy who is very good deceptive at times, it could have been one of his little tricks.” Lili retorted with a smile. “Oh and this letter came today, says that Professor Lorrimor has passed away and he personally named you in his will,” she said, handing Jaevin the letter. “You should go and see what it is all about. I guess he didn’t forget about the time that you saved him from that thing in the alley. Just promise me that you will be safe.”

“Of course I promise. I’ll be back before you know it. Tell the kids I will be back next week and have a super show ready for them when I get back, and maybe even souvenirs.”

Jaevin is very clever and can usually get what he wants out of people. He is fairly intelligent and is good at making connections from the information he has. However, he commonly over looks obvious details in a situation and is quick to act before thinking. This has gotten him into thick spots before and has learn how to talk his way out of most situations he gets himself into.

By nature he is a good hearted individual but will manipulate situations to his benefit, so long as it doesn’t cause any malevolence to the average person. Anyone he judges to be below his standards for respect are treated with indifference and sometime even worse than that.
