Hey my name is Advanced, or at least it's what the thaum mage named me. His name was. . . actually I can't really remember. There was an accident, a sudden release in thuamtic magic, and I was caught in the middle. The surge of thuamatic energy cause me to evolve into a humanoid beast. From then on The Mage taught me everything I know, until one day he left. . . I've got no recollection of him all I know is that he's out there and I need to find him because The Taint is spreading, corrupting, and killing anyone or anything in its path and I know it will take the most accomplished thuamatic mages to stop it. I only hope i can find them all in time.
