Faeron had big dreams paired with big aspirations. The only problem was he lacked any semblance of talent to exploit. He dreamed of becoming the land's greatest Archmage, up there with the heroes like Rembrandt, King-mage of Hope, Talaryn the Magnificient, and Vonarius, the battle-warden of the crystal coast famous for repelling hordes of ravenous ogre-kin all by himself.
He dreamed of power, period. Power over his fellow peers, over his teachers, and over law. He was something of a black sheep among his high elven brethren. Reclusive, vile, hateful. Mortius his mentor had down right refused to teach him any more of the sacred art of magic, for fear he would use this power for wrong. And he was correct. Haughty and arrogant Faeron would enslave the world if he had the means. That was why he had broken in to Mortius' study and stolen several tomes of power from the high mage, to delve into the secret arts by himself for his own selfish goals.
As he turned the pages of a dusty old spellbook he came across incantations to summon devils. He didn't know exactly how the spell worked, but he was desperate enough to invoke the spell first, ask questions later. These dark beings had the things he desired, even if he was ignorant of their end game. In all truth, the thoughts that ran through his head would be to enslave the devil as a minion himself, and not to strike a bargain with it. The only failsafe he had however was his oak staff which he knew, at the very least, how to shoot fireballs out of the gleaming gem seated on the tip.
With the ritual underway he heard the howls of lost souls all around him, the distinct spectral wind of magic turning the air, and a portal between realms opening. His face cracked into a devious grin, "Yes, I summon you! Come forth!!" The young mage slammed the butt of his staff on the ground, excited at the first real step forward he had taken in a while.
