Grave Magic continued

I thought this might be another interesting effect for a grave mage. Here's a stat block for one of these guys.

Grave magic: Mind Leak

Grave Magic

There are some spells which have been developed by the spirits of mages who refused to pass on into the afterlife. Instead, these ghostly mages continue their lives in the ethereal plane much as they had lived in their everyday life-perfecting rituals, tweaking the right combinations of spell components, and designing invocations for maximum effect.

Brewing Massively Hopped IPA

I work at a homebrew supply store, and one of the perks of this job is that occasionally some of the local craft breweries' brewmasters will drop in. The guys from Other Half, an incredible NYC brewery, occasionally come in to distract us from our work with their delicious beer, and I pick their brains about how they make it.

Wizard Pigeons

My dungeons and dragons players were recently faced with a situation where they wanted to get a message really far really fast. They wanted to know if they could "send a raven, or something," referring to the raven-based communication system that the Maesters use in Game of Thrones. I figure such a thing exists, but I was inspired by some groovy posts on Goblin Punch to make up a more fantastical version for wizard express mail. (In other news, that site is full of incredible stuff and is my inspiration for doing this blog in general). This is what I came up with.

Here's a first recommendation: Listen to Immortal Bird because they totally rule.
