Dr. Erasmus Craven (The Raven, 1963) as a 5th Ed. character.

With Erasmus Craven’s distinct magical style in mind—centered on refined, gestural casting and non-verbal mastery—I’ll reimagine his D&D character sheet to better fit a focus on conjuration, evocation, and transmutation. This build will reflect his preference for spells that manipulate energy, create barriers, and subtly alter the environment.

Mending: Repairs small objects, a useful skill for a scholar and researcher.

1st Level:

Mage Armor: Boosts his AC to 16 by creating a magical barrier.

3rd Level:

Counterspell: Disrupts spells cast by others, showcasing his mastery in countering magic.

Dispel Magic: Cancels ongoing magical effects, helpful in duels or arcane disturbances.

Fly: Grants the ability to soar through the air—gesture-based control of his own movement.

Fireball: A classic, dramatic gesture to unleash a fiery explosion from a distance.

5th Level:

Wall of Force: Creates an impenetrable barrier, perfectly aligned with his gesture-based casting style.

Bigby’s Hand: A giant hand made of force, mimicking his gestures and granting him greater reach and control.

Telekinesis: Allows him to manipulate objects or creatures with gestures alone, as though controlling them by hand.

Cone of Cold: Releases a freezing burst of energy—a gesture-based display of elemental power.

6th Level:

Globe of Invulnerability: Creates a protective zone where lower-level spells cannot penetrate, a powerful defensive spell.

Scatter: Rearranges the positions of creatures within 30 feet, reflecting his mastery of spatial manipulation.

Chain Lightning: Strikes multiple foes with a single gesture, demonstrating his control over powerful evocations.

7th Level:

Forcecage: Traps creatures within an invisible cage, fitting his preference for spells that bind or confine.

Teleport: Allows him and up to eight willing creatures to travel to a known location, essential for a powerful conjurer.

Spellbook: Containing his refined selection of spells, carefully recorded in elegant script.

Arcane Focus (Crystal Amulet): A finely crafted amulet that acts as his focus, reinforcing his delicate, gesture-based casting.

Wand of the War Mage +2: Adds +2 to his spell attack rolls, enhancing his ability to strike with precision.

Robe of the Archmagi: This rare robe boosts his AC and saving throws and increases his spell save DC, marking him as a true master of the arcane arts.

Personality Traits:

Reserved and Thoughtful: Erasmus’s contemplative nature leads him to approach problems with careful thought rather than brute force.

Devoted Scholar of the Arcane: He’s fascinated by magic’s mysteries and sees each spell as an art to be mastered.

Ideal:

“True power lies in knowledge and refinement.”

Bond:

He still mourns Lenore and remains dedicated to the Craven family legacy, determined to uncover all the secrets Feamar Manor holds.

Flaw:

His pursuit of knowledge and precision can make him overly cautious or hesitant to act in matters of urgency.

“R-right… that time… When Jade and I messed up big time and Azul… he…”

Prior to this scene, Grim reminds Floyd that the twins were once outsmarted—that despite their best efforts in securing Ramshackle for Azul in Book 3, they still failed him. And they never fail him.

The implication, then, is that the twins believe their failure ultimately caused Azul to Overblot.

It’s a surprisingly painful memory.

At least he didn’t overreact

Designer's Note: Even though she still retains traces of girlishness (like keeping sand seal plushies in her room), we aimed for Riju's design to emphasize her elegant strength and refinement as a more mature leader of the Gerudo.

Other members of the dev staff asked why Riju cut her hair. The reason is that we wanted to establish Riju as a "cool beauty" who's somewhat removed from the rest of the Gerudo, who are often concerned with everyday matters of fashion and romance. We also wanted to facilitate her style of swordsmanship, in which she wields twin blades in a graceful dance. We imagine Riju as being the type of person who wouldn't hesitate to cut her hair if it became a hindrance in battle.

these boys should’ve gone to college GODDAMN

[molinaesque]

By killing her mum in a mercy kill, she's doing exactly what the Ghoul did to Roger. She's learnt from him. She has turned into him. When she said, "I'll never be you," maybe that's not true. And in that moment, when she shoots her mum, it means so many things. It means 'I'm coming with you.' It means. 'I f*cking hate you, but I have turned into you, you were right.' It means she's letting go of her golden centre. I want the audience at the end of the show to wonder if their hero is still a good person. I don't know who she's gonna be in season two, but this is what happens when you break the unbreakable. I don't know who she's about to become. [...] I'd be down to play it either way. - Ella Purnell (x)

C'MON TO THE THEATER!

I love these guys so much. forget NRC, I want to attend their terrible disaster school for disaster children that might actually be plastered on top of the smoking remains of an actively sinking ship. I may or may not actually learn anything, but I will have the time of my life.

— The shape of love. ﹑◌﹒WARNINGS﹕Kidnapping, implied punishment, ugly jealousy, some descriptions of body harm ( just wounds or bruises, and it doesn't get too graphic), lots, and lots of deranged ramblings, it gets very dark at times. This is narrated from the POV of the Yandere, you can read this as a 'letter' of sorts.

♱ ✧ ⤷ Word count: 997 (felt lazy and I didn't reach 1k lmao.)

There you go again, looking at me with the same eyes as always.

I don’t know how many times I’ve repeated moments like this inside my head since the last time. It's been a while since I've been this close to you.

The trembling of your body lets me know that your excitement is as big as mine, is your body perhaps unable to contain all those bubbling feelings?

I grab your legs, my hands softly pressing against the flesh, feeling it under mine —so soft and delicate, for a moment I thought that maybe if I pushed my fingers inside of it I could spread it like a cloud made of cotton— when I pressed I could fee the shape of your bones underneath just a little, the sensation made my own body tremble.

It’s a shame you’re still shy to my touch, even if it’s something simple like a small caress or a kiss on the cheek you’re always trying to push away from me, I would love if you to cling onto me more when I do it or have you begging silently to do something more. I know you wouldn’t tell me with words, you’re not good with them.

Now that I think about it, I’ve never heard you say my name since I brought you here, no?

I should tell you what it is now so you could say it between sighs and I could engrave the sound on the back of my brain forever — those sweet sounds could captivate me forever.

I wonder if you’d say my name with a kind voice, or you’ll just talk to me with the same indifference and fear that’s so characteristic of you. I do admit that is kind of endearing, wild animals were always more interesting than domesticated ones thanks to their hostility, it makes me want to approach them, stick my hand, and see if they’ll bite me, or would just run away and hide in a corner.

I wouldn’t mind if you bit me, I would love to bite you as well in fact, I would wear that mark proudly and I would make sure you do it as well, we could bite our fingers and pretend the marks are our wedding rings, a testament of our love engraved on our skin.

Hahaha — I’m rambling again, please don’t get nervous, you know I usually get lost in my thoughts when I’m here with you, especially when my hands are idly dragging across your skin  — nails and all — leaving red marks behind.

I’m just tracing small invisible circles on your skin and you’re already getting goosebumps, I think that when I touch you delicately like this is when you fear it the most, right? I’m always keeping the momentum, you’ll never know when I can dig my nails into your skin or grab you and never let go.

I press a simple kiss on the skin of your heel, dragging my lips across the length of your leg, what a celestial feeling, there’s nothing in this world that could compare to this mere sensation. You’re trembling again, that makes me smile.

Sometimes when night falls and there are no more thoughts left to think inside my head my mind begins to wander off the path, usually it doesn’t lead me anywhere in particular, but since some time ago I’ve had this constant thought; there are other  —people— that had touched you like this before?

I would like to think that I’m the only one who had the privilege to enjoy all of you, that no other mark of fingers or teeth that doesn’t have the shape of mine has been on your skin.

Thinking like that makes sleeping easier for me.

I’m thankful that right now you can’t speak to me, because if I made you that question and you responded to me that yes, other people had marked you like I did, I think I would had the impulse to tear apart each part of you that has been tainted by them.

Not because I hate you, on the contrary, I just think I couldn’t live with the idea. That you belonged to someone else even if it was just for a moment, what am I saying? I don’t even like the idea of you belonging to yourself.

But if I were to do that, I think I’d like to go to extremes no other people could; kiss your open wounds or taste your blood, that would be romantic, don’t you think?

I press my face against your thighs while I keep dragging my nails up and down your legs, I sigh again, tilting my head slightly to take a better look at you, I can see myself reflected in your own eyes now, how romantic, just like in the movies you like to watch.

I like the me I see in your eyes, I like the idea that it belongs to you alone, the idea of you keeping each small expression I make just for you, each blink would be like a small photograph you take of me and keep inside your head, aaaalll yours.

My mother used to tell me that love is only true if you can see it reflected in the one you love,

From your red cheeks — was I too rough last night?

Your bruised knees — If you would just learn how to sit properly at the table already, it would make our meals more easy.

Your beautiful hands — You should stop trying to take off your handcuffs.

Your shining eyes — Is that a small tear I see? Maybe I should reach it and lick it, I wouldn’t like to go to waste.

Yes, I think for the first time something she said made sense, now that I took a better look at you, I don’t think there’s any better proof of this —

You’re the truest, most beautiful form of ‘love’.
