[@Jangel13], setting mad science aside for the moment, I was hoping to get your approval for a set of magical skills that I'm hoping to start developing within the next two IC days.  These would be the foundation skills for the kind of potion making and object enhancement that I had in mind for the future.  It would also possibly incorporate, or hint toward, the rather complicated relationship that this character is likely to have with Shirila and Duvelna.

-Converting Fire into Life Energy and storing the extra in the caster's body.
-Transfer Life Energy from caster to another living target through touch.
-Convert Life Energy into Fire and binding Fire in Stones for later use.
