When the words "Wizard" or "Mage" or "Sorcerer" are uttered, most tend to envision one of two things. The former is the 'dashing adventurer'. A handsome man or woman garbed in flashy clothing that apes either practicality or arcane might. The latter is the wizened wizard, puffing on a pipe as long as his beard and wearing voluminous robes over a bony body. A man or woman wise to the ways of the world and its mysteries.

Ambroz is the latter. Well, I'm not too sure about 'wise' bit, but he certainly looks the part. Six decades on Arethil has seen his skin turned wrinkly, his hair white-gray, and his frame gone gaunt. Ambroz tends to wear voluminous robes, alongside his impressively ample facial hair, to hide this frailty. The slender rod of wood he carries to assist in walking only reinforces his representation of the 'wizened wizard' archetype, much to his amusement. As does the wide-brimmed, pointed hat he wears when traveling.

The make of the robes favored by the Abjurer vary based on climate and locale, but are almost always a hue of some sort of green or blue. Likewise, his hat tends to either be blue or green in color.

Ambroz's skills are correspondingly potent to his age. Studying at the College of Elbion from the day he was able, Ambroz is a Maester of the Third Order with a specialty of Abjuration, an emphasis in Runic application and is a dabbling Diviner. He would be a powerhouse, if not for the fragility of his body.

Abjuration
Ambroz's specialty. Under the umbrella of Abjuration falls all magic pertaining to defense. Shield spells, warding, counter-spelling, and the like. As a decades-long student of Abjuration, Ambroz can be considered decently proficient in most magic of this type. In particular, Ambroz has studied the subfield of warding and is particularly skilled with its use and applications.

Runic Magic
An estoric discipline, but an endlessly useful one. Ambroz is decently skilled in its use, but most of his knowledge in this field pertains to utilizing runes alongside his wards.

Divination
As with the Runic Arts, Ambroz has studied Divination to further the potency of his wards. Wards often need to distinguish between conditions and Divination, the art of magically gathering informaton, is necessary to facilitate this. Most of Ambroz's knowledge within this field is limited to where it pertains to warding, but he is still capable of performing most standard spells.

Ambroz is a jovial, helpful fellow with a penchant for humour. His motivations can be boiled down to: pursuit of his magnum opus, helping his friends, and enjoying himself.
