Magic was traditionally seen in [[Willowshore]] as either a manifestation of divine blessing, one’s connection to the spirit world, or just a trick of the hand and mind. Most folks didn’t quite understand it as a topic to be studied and learned until the arrival of [[Anjal of Thulsadus]], an old nagaji wizard. Arriving about 15 years ago, Anjal found the weather of Willowshore to be gentle on their dryscale condition and thus bought a plot of land from a farmer looking to relocate to the city of Sze. Overnight, a Nagajor-styled tower of dark basalt appeared, much to the awe of the villagers. Though curious about magic, most villagers find the topic to be formidable and unapproachable, not to mention impractical. Thus, Anjal had only one apprentice, [[Jubei]], a child they raised after she was abandoned in Willowshore by a pair of irresponsible “parents” who posed as well-off merchants but then fled town without paying their bills. Infuriated that anyone dared endanger a child so, Anjal’s Nalinivatian beliefs prompted the old wizard to take the terrified Jubei in as their own. Jubei has since grown into a capable young adult. While Anjal’s death last year was tragic, Jubei is determined to continue studying the arcane arts through the books her adopted parent left behind. **Wares:** arcane and occult scrolls, formulas and recipes, wands.
