[@themaybreeze] Sounds good! I'm brainstorming something along those same lines for the Planes. Excited for a CS! 

For everyone else's reference, I'm going to stick with a stuffy and sheltered royal Planes mage. I'm thinking very classic wizard-y style of magic with lots of scrolls and incantations and studying. 

Question though: what age range would be expected for a royal mage?

Generally, there are two types of characters who wind up in remote towers - wizards and princesses. So your princess winds up in a remote tower and finds some tomes of magic in a chest, left by the former occupant - and got to reading. Perhaps the former occupant had an affair with the Queen..?
