After more than 80 years as a teacher of Evocation, a student asked Maewhynn “What would happen if this spell was used on a live subject?” Torn between Dwarven sense of morale and the quest for knowledge, she sided with knowledge, and took her three students on an excursion to a tomb for clan-less Dwarves. Here Maewhynn raised a corpse for each of the students to test their skills on, but alas, wind of her deed reached the archmage. After a brief conversation, Maewhynn’s persuit of knowledge was acknowledged, but to commit necromancy within a Dwarven stronghold was unforgivable, and Maewhynn had to leave for the overworld.
Here, there were plenty of test subjects. Though a few times, her magic caused the townspeople to claim that she was raising the dead, which, to be fair, she was, but only for the sake of seeking knowledge on the effects of evocation spells on bodies. “I don’t care for these folk’s proof-less claims, that I should be raising the dead in order to turn them on the living. I have no such plans or interests, and unless you get between my spells and their target, you will be fine.”
Through her travels, Maewhynn had had to pay off her fines several times, as it turns out; most people aren’t happy, when you bring their dead relatives back, only to hurl fire balls at them from a distance. “Of course I’ll follow the laws, as long as these laws do not prevent me from obtaining knowledge. If you can provide me with specimens, and a place to perform my craft, I’ll be more than happy to oblige.”
