Victarion Gauss's page

The story of Victarion Gauss Fibonacci is one of calculus.
As the son of a pair of mildly famous Wizards he was destined to learn the intrincacies of arcane magic. Since he was able to talk he was under the tutelage of his father, Luis Diego Gauss Fibonacci, who taught him of the arcane and the divine, of the mundane and how to twist it with pure force of will... and he taught him of numbers.
Numbers, you see, are a peculiar kind of being. They are bound by their own rules, but they bound the world as a whole: Everything can be expressed and explained with the appropiate formulae.

This fact enraptured Victarion, who from an early age decided to master the most abstract -and at the same time exact- science of all: Maths.
He studied at every moment possible, resolving for X, drawing schemes, developping equations. He was good, one of the best, and this training helped him in his Wizard training.
No spell was too big or too large, too intense or too weak: he calculated everything beforehand. But one day he discovered something he couldn't comprehend or explain with numbers: the instant gratification of blowing something up with magic.

The day he first cast an Evocation spell he felt euphoric. Even resolving the most difficult equation of the world paled in comparison.

With his two life loves found, when he was 26 he decided that he would research and teach in the Arcanamirium. For 7 years he studied there and he even got to help in some of the teacher's researches. But he couldn't forget that thrilling sensation that produced the magical fire burning stuff up, nor his love of maths.

One day he cloistered himself in his room. He mixed algebra, calculus and evocation magic. He wrote, he calculated and he dreamt. When he exited two weeks later he claimed two discoveries: to have been perfected the Fireball spell, the ultimate weapon of an Evocation Wizard and that he could use the since then called Gauss Equation to alter the flows of magic and channel a part of his life essence when casting a spell, therefore changing its fundamental basis and allowing him to transmute fire into cold, water, acid or thunder... and vice versa.

Most of his pals called bluff on it, and when the teachers said him that he should focus in his basic studies instead of tinkering over what he could, he left to prove himself and to prove others.

Outside of his comfort zone he went back to his roots and just observed the environment: he saw a numerical pattern, something he couldn't fully comprehend and simply followed it. He didn't knew where he was going, but the numbers never ever have failed him.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Familiar : The master of a dodo familiar gains a +4 bonus on initiative checks
Alertness (Ex): While a familiar is within arm's reach, the master gains the Alertness feat(+2 to Perception and Sense Motive).

Improved Evasion (Ex): When subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, a familiar takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw and half damage even if the saving throw fails.

Share Spells: The wizard may cast a spell with a target of “You” on his familiar (as a touch spell) instead of on himself. A wizard may cast spells on his familiar even if the spells do not normally affect creatures of the familiar's type (magical beast).

Empathic Link (Su): The master has an empathic link with his familiar to a 1 mile distance. The master can communicate empathically with the familiar, but cannot see through its eyes. Because of the link's limited nature, only general emotions can be shared. The master has the same connection to an item or place that his familiar does.

[Spoiler=Arcane School: Evocation(Admixture)]
Intense Spells (Su):Whenever you cast an evocation spell that deals hit point damage, add 1/2 your wizard level to the damage (minimum +1). This bonus only applies once to a spell, not once per missile or ray, and cannot be split between multiple missiles or rays. This bonus damage is not increased by Empower Spell or similar effects. This damage is of the same type as the spell. At 20th level, whenever you cast an evocation spell you can roll twice to penetrate a creature's spell resistance and take the better result.

Versatile Evocation (Su): When you cast an evocation spell that does acid, cold, electricity, or fire damage, you may change the damage dealt to one of the other four energy types. This changes the descriptor of the spell to match the new energy type. Any non-damaging effects remain unchanged unless the new energy type invalidates them (an ice storm that deals fire damage might still provide a penalty on Perception checks due to smoke, but it would not create difficult terrain). Such effects are subject to GM discretion. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Intelligence modifier.
