Background Story:
--------------------
It has been said by at least one member of every other race that humankind has the best and shortest lifespan of any intelligent race, mostly long-lived races, like dwarves and elves saying this. Raelc Domson has said this several times in his 124 year elven existence, so far. Living in a small town (more like a thorp to Raelc) near the southern coast of Aerenal, the only good feature about the place is that it has the best institute of learning (and the most affordable) in the area. Raelc had spent nearly 30 years there, trying to learn magic (and cooking). One out of two is not so bad.
Discouraging remarks aside, Raelc wasn't that bad, he made a pretty mean souffle. It was however, finally the time for Realc to take his final exams to become a true wizard. He spent several days trying to come up with some kind of new spell or application that could convince his mentors to graduate him (finally) and grant him the Master's Staff, which was conferred to every graduate.
Finally, Raelc came up with an idea, no, actually more of a cunning plan. It took several favors and a very modified version of blade barrier, but he soon had it. So on "Show and Spell" day, Raelc brought out his grand idea. The mentors walked around the various other applicants, many of them so so (a ring of endure elements...too bad it only works under sunny conditions), a few were pretty good (who knew you could mix goggles with a heightened scorching ray, I even like the title "Eye of the Cyclops").
Then it was Raelc's turn. The mentors walked to him, one saying "I do hope that you can finally prove your worth to us, Raelc. You have been here far too long already." Raelc looked at his mentors in a rather unimpressed manner. "As a matter of fact, gentlemen, I do have something." With that, Raelc picked up his spellbook, and began an incantation. Within seconds, a series of mechanical looking blades formed along one back wall. Just after the blades formed, Raelc began a second spell. As he spoke, the blades began to shrink, growing ever smaller, until they were no larger than a thimble. With that, Raelc picked up a tin cup, scooped up the blades like ice cream, and then walked back to the mentors.
"See, gentlemen, I can now," Raelc said as he picked up some carrots and put them into the cup. The blades chopped them up quite nicely. "Now you can chop up almost anything for making meals. I call it...the Chopper!"
Silence filled the room for several seconds. It was as if Raelc had reached a turning point in his life. From now on, he would be a Master Wizard, and may someday become the envy of everyone. He knew this was his shining moment.
"Is that it? Well, at least we can be assured that if a terrible carrot monster should ever ravage the countryside, we'll have brave Raelc Dumbson to protect us." As Raelc stormed out of the room, the first mentor looked over to his companion and said "you were kind of mean to Raelc. Perhaps we could keep him on as part of the kitchen staff. After all, he does make an incredible souffle."
Raelc grabbed his few possessions and spent most of his remaining funds on an airship to the mainland. He had heard of many stories of mercenaries (and mercenary wizards) making their fortunes on the battlefields of one nation or another. Besides, they might need a good cook, Raelc was a wizard with eggs.
