Main play style

In Combat

Veor operates as a combat mage most of the time. Typically starting before the combat begins if possible with Snowfall, Wall of Ice & Ice Construction capable of shaping the battlefield for the parties advantage. Then Sacrifice, Snowball & Ice Bolt can be cast shortly before combat on either himself or others for use during the fight, leaving him free to cast Rays of Cold & Ice Projectiles during the fight. If need be he can step into the front line, but he is not equipped as a warrior despite being quite effective with a Quarter-staff having a number of Warrior abilities relating to it.

Out of Combat

Buff Magic tends to be Resist Cold & Greater Heart Rune, other options are Ice Armour, Rune Shield & Rune of Truth but normally people have better. He is a skilled Herbalist & Ranger with some supporting skills. He is not a Healer but here his Rune Magic allows him to replicate some of what a Healer can do as long as the target is alive. Travel Magic he normally uses Iceberg or Ice Traversal, with a castable Rune Portal as well but only over shorter distances meaning other travel magic is normally more use anyway.

Description

Veor Damarez.
Veor has undergoing a change recently, transforming into a 5'10" tall woman with a respectable build. Still blonde with flowing hair to just below the shoulder and piercing snow blue eyes that gaze out at the world with chill. She dresses in fine chain under good travelling leathers while at the guild, sometimes changing to plate while on adventure, avoiding showing flesh that would suggest anything.
In the odd occasion she appears at a court function she favours blue free moving dresses.
Most of the time the visible weapons are a re-curve bow & a true silvered battle-axe, with a shaman like quarterstaff and war club rounding the weapons out. A large shield also rests on her back.
When in armour a tabard over the top indicates that she is a member of the Pasifikan order of the wandering warrior to those familiar with Alusian heraldry.

Background & History

5th Son of a Nordic Gentleman, taught the Ice College at home in accordance with the long family tradition, Veor was sent the long distance to the Guild to, according to what his father told him, 'See the world, and learn your magic so when you come home, you're a man of knowledge and experience'.
With these words, he took ship and traveled the long journey to the Guild, therein beginning his career with a seemingly simple task for a minor noble on plane.
