Professor Wind Douglas
The Mage's Society's liquid specialist in Gwyndinas — a professor who works in a perpetually rain-flooded office (a private indoor tropical thunderstorm, no wind, with a hat that itself rains on him) on the tower's 17th floor. An expert on all things liquid, and the office-nemesis of the blood mage Rhys Wengler (whom he suspects of stealing his lunch). Draak insists on calling him the "liquid wizard," "Mr. Window Glass," and "Mr. Professor Wind Douglas." His desk placard reads "Professor Wynn Douglas."
Session 15
- Confirmed for the Smiling Sam investigation that removing all of a creature's blood is trivial — a cantrip leaves nearly undetectable residue (~1-minute half-life), and a non-magical suction device would leave none — so the missing blood requires no exotic magic.
- Conjured a jar of substitute blood for Ashlyn "in the name of science"; it was bland but sated her bloodlust for a full day. He keeps the recipe on a scroll and wants more dhampir test subjects to grow his sample size.
- Reluctantly scried Rhys Wengler (he'd secretly planted a scrying enchantment on him), showing the party the blood mage camped a day or two outside the city with reluctant allies — the session's key lead.
- Cast a memory spell on himself to dredge up Wengler's name, having "repressed" it out of dislike, then planned to forget it again.
