Sefis theorizes that Divine Magic and Arcane magic are one and the same...that the Gods who direct the affairs of mortals are false idols - ancient archetypes - residual accumulations of magic from another time and space. Magic itself is a natural phenomena - and nothing more. Those who wield magic fall into the category of those who manipulate it or those whose minds are manipulated by its trasformational power. Sefis is not certain of this....but he intends to uncover the mysteries of magic and develop a viable, unified therory to explain the forces of nature - including magic. Perhaps the stars have something to tell....or perhaps the secret is to be found in the study of the most minute particles. Sefis sought out the gnome Frgala - a gemsmith known for her work with crystal lenses, who he figured might be interested in his theory .
Frgala was inquisitive about Sefis' bold theory, impressed by his power to calculate - and strangley attracted to his lanky, bony, half-elven body - so she accepted the young man into her personal service in exchange for her magical tutelage and the use of her labotory.
Sefis quickly advanced in the magical sciences - especially Divination- as if he was born to the calling. Nevertheless Frgala recently pointed out that in order for him to continue his studies with her as an apprentice, he would need to contribute more than the flighty fancies of his fervent mind. Besides - the kinds of instruments and lenses he would require for his bold experiments would be sure to cost a king's fortune in the end. Sefis will need to acquire piles of cash, crystals and other alchemical materials before even thinking to bring his dreams to fruition with Frgala. And it turns out that Sefis has been useless in the bedroom as well. His depressing attitude has been wearing thin on the naughty gnome. Tired of shacking with the androgynous half-caste, Frgala told him simply to take a hike! Nevertheless - as a token of her professional esteem - if not her affection - Frgala did bequeth two special items upon the morose elf- a small masterwork magnifying lense and a spellbook.
