Creativity is a very refined form of magic. Indeed, Creativity is the very essence of the magical arts. The sorcerer's greatest secret is a simple one. Whatever you create from Fear will be infused with fear and bound by it. However, that which you create from Love will be infused with Love and forever bound by the force of Love. Vandar Karn is an old-school sorcerer who learned his trade making many mistakes along the way. Yet even when a magician embodies the Sorcerer's Secret he may be tempted to misuse his knowledge. And the consequences of such an action can not always be foreseen. Here's another character sketch from Veil of the Gods.
