Caleb Gandalfson

Caleb is a lanky young wizard with wind-reddened cheeks, ink-stained fingers, and a mop of wheat-blonde hair that never quite stays tied back. He dresses in practical travel cloaks patched with family colors, but the inside of every sleeve is lined with cramped magical notes and quick references. A wand of wonder hangs at his belt beside a well-loved woodcarver's knife and his overly-friendly awakened spellbook. He speaks with infectious enthusiasm, always eager to explain a new rune or share a strange folk tale from his travels. When danger approaches he plants his staff, eyes bright with curiosity, ready to unleash disciplined magic on behalf of the people who rely on him.

• Helped settlers in Hjaltland, fought zombies including an ogre zombie from a barrow, helped rescue a badger family from goblins, found a brass brazier for his owl familiar, and discovered the Atlantean Arcanist's Guide to Wandcraft beneath the barrow.
• During the Hjaltland badger rescue, Caleb used his Wand of Wonder and it cast a permanent Enlarge effect on the badger now known as Bitey Boy Brock, which is how Brock met Skrappe Frappe.
• Oversaw the reconnaissance mission toward occupied Stormroost with MechaKirby, Fireetta, Steve, Kris, and Risar.
• Used Comprehend Languages and his spellbook's advice during dangerous reconnaissance scenes.

• Caleb uses the campaign's Wand of Wonder procedure: when he activates the wand randomly, he rolls the d100 result and also makes an Arcana check. The quality of the Arcana check tells him whether the coming effect should be aimed at a friend or foe.

• Owl familiar: summoned after Caleb found the brass brazier in Hjaltland.
• Awakened spellbook: advisor, audible conversational companion, and apparent vessel for the soul of an ancient wizard. It often starts advice with “Hey buddy…”.
