The Lore of Arcanist Qasim of the Plains

If there is one thing you learn when you raise bunnies, it's that a caged animal will always try to escape.

Qasim felt a lot like the bunnies his family raised. Life wasn't bad, his family always had food, and he had a good relationship with his family members, but when you're breeding bunnies, you can't exactly go see the world... and that's all Qasim could think about. He was fascinated by stories of magickal artifacts with complex histories, and he wanted to find them. When Qasim would tell his father of his true desires, his father would become enraged at the idea. Life was comfortable, why would you go off chasing legends? So like his bunnies, Qasim too would try to escape.

Far from being a grown man, Qasim adventured off into the night. Still being a child, he brought nothing more than a couple of cool rocks, some bunny jerky, and favorite (living) bunny with him. He traveled north, into the Hedge Wizard Wood, and then got completely lost. This boy had no sense of direction, no idea what he was doing. He was a farmer's son, not an adventurer! Qasim didn't even know how to identify edible plants or hunt! He was in over his head, and he knew it.

Days passed, Qasim ran out of food. His bunny, Hagan thankfully had plenty of foilage to munch on, but Qasim persisted... until he could not. A cluster of purple mushrooms appeared just as Qasim could take it no more. If the mushrooms didn't kill him, surely the hunger would. About 15 minutes later Qasim felt something he had never felt before... Magick.

The next few months were spent eating the magick purple mushrooms, learning how to survive, and realizing the manifestation of his powers. Qasim learned how to combine food and magick to create concentrated energy pellets. The effects of these pellets varies based off the ingredients used, so there are limitless possibilities and combinations. These months turned a boy into a wizard with almost infinite potential. Equipped with this new power, he set off to find ingredients to pelletize.

When Qasim finally arrived in civilization, he wanted to grab some carrots to experiment with for Hagan. He had never pelletized food for Hagan, as Hagan would nom on just about anything, anywhere, anytime. Pelletized carrots are essentially superfood for bunnies, as they are carrots infused with magick. Hagan grew 20 times his size, and could communicate telepathically with Qasim. The pelletized carrots for humans however, did not make you grow, but gave you incredible night vision and kept you full for hours... so much to discover.

With new found power comes new found responsibility, and Qasim spent his time reading about different plants, meats, and the lore behind their energies. He would experiment with new foods, which meant also feeding the hungry... which didn't always turn out to be such a "good deed." His intentions were pure, however, and his prestige grew. He spent his nights in bars, listening to bards tell their stories, and taking notes. His goal was to gather as many of the pieces to the puzzle and put them together. The artifacts he sought would be his...
