Scribes,
For lack of a better year, I would like to have three old characters my younger brother, childhood friend and I had played since 1981 to wrap up their careers on Faerun by The Year of The Runelords Triumphant, DR 1487. They had one last visit from Mystra in The Year of The Ageless One, DR 1479. She addressed the three men by their true names and offered each one The Choice as she had offered the Magisters of old.
They all came from another (homebrew) world outside Realmspace to Toril in the early part of The Year of Shadows, DR 1358, before the Time of Troubles. Mystra (version 1.0) gave them Faerunian names and changed their true names.
Metagame Perspective: Faerunian names and true names were proposed by players and approved/edited with DM (my) approval. The name "Kermit The Frog" would never have been acceptable. Let us just say they made some serious enemies of multispheric entities- and could use some cover while on Toril.
They went on to worship Faerunian gods in spite of the obvious complications that soon arrived. Figuring they still owed the original Mystra big time, they decided to extend their debt to the newly ascended Midnight when the Time of Troubles was over. One more Mystra later, and that debt is finally about to be paid.
You probably have already seen three of the minor spells the wizard had created, including the controversial jakes on demand. He has researched a created a few more spells, mostly utilitarian in function. None of them are explicitly named after him, which the wizard considers both bragadocious, and more importantly, calls his enemies' attention to his activities.
As time and energy permit, I will catalog more spells, using the 3.5 edition as the default format. Some spells are actually rituals, which I will try to put into as clear a format as possible. I will appreciate feedback from scribes on clearing such an ad hoc format.
