[Lillian Whitefield]

Greetings,

I'm an apprentice sorcerer who is looking to grow in my personal control over magical arts as well as expand my horizons. I'm okay at elemental spells particularly those dealing with acid and fire but lack much talent with any other types of magic. I have taught myself some basic relocation and illusion spells through the use of books but would love to learn more.

- Lillian Whitefield

[Jackson]

Name: Jackson Payne
Department(s): Department of Defensive Magic, Department of Artifacts.
Class or specialty: Artificer, skilled with enchanting, manipulating magic, and magical combat.
Part-time/Full-time: Part-time
Applicable Experience: A decade spent fighting using magic, and enchanting normal items into magical ones.
Why are you right for the job:

Ever since I was thirteen I have been using magic, and enchanting items. I am a being made of magic, so thanks to it I am capable of manipulating spells, and put magic into items. Not only am I skilled enchanter, having enchanted my gauntlets, which I use to contain my magic. I’ve also enchanted various weapons, and I’m the person behind the new, stronger wards that the Watch now deploys in the cells. There is also the decade’s worth of combat experience I have. I’ve learned the hard way how to fight against various types of magic, and beings. That’s why I want to help teach these students, so that they don’t get the steep learning curve I got myself.”

[Serenity Silverhand]

Name: Serenity Vaya Silverhand

Department(s): Department of Aetherial & Elemental Manipulation

Class or Specialty: Red Magus / Elemental Ranger

Part-time/Full-time: Full-time

Applicable Experience: This is certainly a difficult one to explain, but I shall endeavor to try my best.

I am mostly learned as a Knight formally in the service of of Cormyr as the Captain of The Flock, an officially sanctioned mercenary force. I eventually joined the Impilturan Demonslayers and trained as a Ranger whose abilities were honed for combat against demons, undead, and abominations.

However as of recently, through events I would be willing to recount, I have come into my own as a Red Magus.

My father, the late High Lord Magus Nathanael Veneficus, has bestowed upon me a wealth of knowledge about the Aether and Elemental Energies as these were his primary disciplines as Magus for the Kingdom of Castivece. I know everything he knew. At great personal cost.

I would see his dream of sharing his knowledge with others through.

I sincerely apologize for the long-windedness of this answer.

Why you are right for the job: I have gone through a ton of hardships in my life - especially as a child - and these events have gone a long way in defining who I am. My unrelenting nature insists that I will go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure the notion mentioned above becomes a reality.

I have access to a wealth of magical knowledge through the Tower of Mysteries in Dragon's Gate, as well as a wonderful assistant by the name of Q. T. McTwo-Thumbs whom he himself is a quite learned mage.

I have the time, and the opportunity to impart my father's wisdom to the next generation of up-and-coming wizards, sorcerers, and mages - and given the chance I would not see it squandered.

I appreciate your taking the time to review my application and look forward to hearing from you.
