Alzar at level 14 –

Alzar has spent some time learning new spells in cities and such. Many of his important items have been made semi-permanently flameproof and waterproof, including valuable lab equipment and more. He also has cast Lightning Rod in the main room of his complex, and made it semi-permanent – now any lightning attack spell cast there goes to the metal rod imbedded in the wall, rather than at anyone.

Three years later he is level 14, and one of the found longevity potions of age worked, and the other three were poisoned, so his real age is 54 but physical age is 20.

Alzar has gained non-weapon proficiencies in Bookbinding and Papermaking and he has his minions make books for Consume Knowledge and Bookcopy. This reduces costs for paper for scrolls, books, and spellbooks by a lot. He also has two paid sages and geomancers in Vermani, Keig and Kegra, a pair of twins who are paid to make copies of minor books but also get to make copies of the book themselves. Alzar provides them all of the supplies and they get free books, the spell, and the occasional gold to keep them going. He gets several free books a day from the twins beyond his apprentices.

With the amount of knowledge he has gained from various books all over, Alzar now is considered to have the Obscure Knowledge trait. He also has Sage Knowledge: Outer Planes, Inner Planes.
