Personality Traits
Not much is known yet about this Tytalus Maga, she seems to be open minded
about the disagreements in the covenant and quite intelligent.
It has already been noted that she does not like physical activity, and will
do almost anything to avoid having to exert herself.
She is quite unobtrusive and quiet, and is often overlooked when she is
silent. Even so she can become quite verbose if needs be.

Notes
Assumpta has finally finished her probationary work and accompanied the
disceptator and provost on a mission from God. This was prompted by an Angel
appearing to the whole covenant and warning them of an attempt by the
Devourer's minions to possess his entire heart.
Past probationary work included scribing part of her grimoire,
Igniting the Mind
into the library and creating some potions, which were promptly destroyed when
some sort of air elemental escaped in the items stores.
She enjoys working on the library texts and has so far decyphered the lab
notes of Hammas of Windgraven and the diary of Crantatus of Criamon.
Assumpta accompanied the party on the last mission to retrieve the Demon's
heart quarters and during this showed her enjoyment of Ignem magics by
incinerating an attacker.
She also cast Thirsting Flame upon a torch and dropped it on wet attackers, who
were consumed by the flames, the attackers were drenched by grogs pouring
water over them.
She has a small (45 pawns - she's modest), but increasing store of vis:
- Creo: 2 pawns (1 feather, 1 statue)
- Intellego: 17 pawns (Black Liquid from Personal source)
- Perdo: 2 pawns
- Aquam: 2 pawns (Moss)
- Ignem: 10 pawns (Coal from Personal vis source)
- Imagonem: 4 pawns (Nodules)
- Terram: 4 pawns (1 set of three leaves, 3 crystals)
- Vim: 4 pawns (Putty from Home)
She has made a magical armband for herself, to help her move around with more
stealth. This copper band encircles her upper right arm and is imbued with a
constant 10th level Rego Corpus, which makes her glide about with her feet
about an inch off the floor. Needless to say this is not very fast, she moves
around normal walking speed. But, combined with the slightly longer black
dresses she wears, it gives an eerie effect which adds to her blatant gift.
