Simyarins are magicians... Although they are well known in Nanny for idling and chatting and playing with useless spells, they can be dangerous when something raises their temper... Tredon here is using the feared 'circle' spell.

Black ink and watercolour.

Hi.
I play Laysha, Tredon's wife in NannyMUD and I have to say that this is exactly how I picture him to be!
I can't believe there aren't any comments here yet, this is amazing! I love all the other pictures of Nanny characters - it's great to come on here and see pictures of people I know from the MUD. 1
Anyway...keep up the good work and I would love to see a picture of Laysha on here sometime. Might even do my own... now there's a thought!
*hugs and kisses*

:-) Cristina Marsi replies: "Thank you for stopping by 12 Yeah it is a lot of fun to draw nanny chars, expecially when I manage to reproduce the image I have in my mind. I will paint Laysha, don't worry, just give me enough time, spring makes me sooo lazy ;P"

I love his clothes very swirly (is swirly a word?) you captured the dinamics of the scene very nicely.

Pray tell, what is the Circle spell? It looks pretty harmless now, and kind of defensive, but I am sure, from your description, that is the intention. *evil grin*

Excellent depiction of the swishing and swirling movements. One criticism, if I may. Perhaps the "lightning zaps" coming from his fingers could have been made more swirly? It would have fit in more with the action, in my opinion. "Let the magic flow," as they say. Like a fluid, I imagine.

:-) Cristina Marsi replies: "Alas, Simyarin guild forbids its members to reveal the secrets of their spells to outsiders... the spell is defensive, as you guessed, but thats all i can tell you 12 You are right about the zaps, simply didnt think about that 2"

But shouldn’t the zaps emerge from the staff. I mean ... without the staff... you couldn’t possibly..., right?

At least this is how anybody sees a Simyarin in action:

"-Simyarin- makes some magical gestures and draws a circle with his staff."
