	If you like Electromancy then by all means adopt it for your character. However if there is something you have in mind that you want to try and develop then by all means bring it up here. What I showed you was simply off the top examples of possible magical schools and styles.

	Electrum is a naturally occurring alloy of gold and silver, and it is fairly rare. However one of the professions on Earth are adventurers and explorers who go out in search if valuables in the form of forgotten Earthly treasure, pre-Rending technology, and texts and artifacts relating to Earthly magic. 

	Since your character works as a guard maybe he came across a dead adventurer with some bars of Electrum that he decided to keep for himself when he reported the body. He also could have gotten hold of a magical text the same way and learned how to use Electromancy from that. 

	A human throwing around destructive magic would probably raise a lot of concern. The Guard probably wouldn't mind too much beyond the initial shock[i](after all having someone amongst them that can hurl lighting bolts would probably be comforting)[/i], but other groups and townsfolk would be worried that a human knows such things.

	It could potentially work either way. Though considering the chaotic nature of your character, maybe they're a corrupt guard? Breaking the rules and conspiring with some criminal elements, keeping his magic a bit of a secret and using it whenever he needs to get rid of someone who becomes problematic for him...

	The Roleplay is finally up! I apologize if things look messy. I'm still recovering from surgery so I can't work at my best at the moment.
