Magic Rune: Chamon - the Soaring Eagle

Gold energy is particularly heavy and dense. It quickly sinks to the ground and seeps into the earth, where it is attracted to metallic elements and especially to precious metals - most obviously gold itself. It is said that this goes some way to explaining the almost sorcerous effect that gold has on so many intelligent races, inciting greed, violence and sometimes even war.

Gold Wizards are great practitioners of alchemy, smelting and mixing strange concoctions in the course of their studies into the nature of the elements. They are also good at making magical devices from precious metals.

The Gold Wizards' alchemical skills make them very rich and they invariably exhibit their wealth in ostentatious robes and ornamentation. Wealth brings status so Gold Wizards enjoy prestige and respect rare amongst wizards (most wizards are viewed with either suspicion or fear, or both). Gold Wizards often find employment as court wizards to kings and princes, or as consultant wizards for rich mercantile cartels.
