APPEARANCE

He has large, translucent wings with a pinkish hue and intricate vein patterns, giving him a delicate and ethereal appearance. His tall hat, adorned with colorful feathers and various decorations, adds to his whimsical charm. Zephyr's pointed ears peek out from under the hat, enhancing his fairy-like features.

His outfit is a delightful mix of colors and textures: a striped shirt with rolled-up sleeves, a vest with detailed buttons and decorations, and a purple fur-like trim around the shoulders. The overall ensemble, though mismatched and eclectic, perfectly captures the spirit of Zephyr's playful nature.

Zephyr’s presence is both captivating and mysterious.

Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
Whispering to the spirits of nature, you create one of the following effects within range.

Weather Sensor. You create a Tiny, harmless sen- sory effect that predicts what the weather will be at your location for the next 24 hours. The effect might manifest as a golden orb for clear skies, a cloud for rain, falling snowflakes for snow, and so on. This effect persists for 1 round. Bloom. You instantly make a flower blossom, a seed pod open, or a leaf bud bloom. Sensory Effect You create a harmless sensory effect, such as falling leaves, spectral dancing fairies, a gentle breeze, the sound of an animal, or the faint odor of skunk.

Eldritch Blast

Cast Time: Action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
Beam of crackling energy. Ranged spell attack against one creature or object (per beam). Hit: 1d10 Force damage. Level 5+: two beams. Level 11+: three beams. Level 17+: four beams.
Minor Illusion
Level 0 Illusion (pact magic)
Cast Time: Action
Range: 30 feet
Components: S, M
Duration: 1 min
You create a sound or an image of an object within range that lasts for the duration. See the descriptions below for the effects of each. The illusion ends if you cast this spell again.

If a creature takes a Study action to examine the sound or image, the creature can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the illusion becomes faint to the creature. Sound. If you create a sound, its volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be your voice, someone else's voice, a lion's roar, a beating of drums, or any other sound you choose. The sound continues unabated throughout the duration, or you can make discrete sounds at different times before the spell ends. Image. If you create an image of an object—such as a chair, muddy footprints, or a small chest—it must be no larger than a 5-foot Cube. The image can't create sound, light, smell, or any other sensory effect. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, since things can pass through it.

Hex
Level 1 Enchantment (Pact magic, slot)
Cast Time: Bonus action
Range: 90 feet
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Conc, <= 1hr
You place a curse on a creature that you can see within range. Until the spell ends, you deal an extra 1d6 Necrotic damage to the target whenever you hit it with an attack roll. Also, choose one ability when you cast the spell. The target has Disadvantage on ability checks made with the chosen ability.

If the target drops to 0 Hit Points before this spell ends, you can use a Bonus Action on a later turn to curse a new creature. Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot. Your Concentration can last longer with a spell slot of level 2 (up to 4 hours), 3-4 (up to 8 hours), or 5+ (up to 24 hours).

Silent Image
Level 1 Illusion (Misty visions, at will)
Cast Time: Action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Conc, <= 10 min
You create the image of an object, a creature, or some other visible phenomenon that is no larger than a 15-foot Cube. The image appears at a spot within range and lasts for the duration. The image is purely visual; it isn't accompanied by sound, smell, or other sensory effects.

As a Magic action, you can cause the image to move to any spot within range. As the image changes location, you can alter its appearance so that its movements appear natural for the image. For example, if you create an image of a creature and move it, you can alter the image so that it appears to be walking. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, since things can pass through it. A creature that takes a Study action to examine the image can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the creature can see through the image.

Disguise Self
Level 1 Illusion (Mask of many faces, at will)
Cast Time: Action
Range: Self

You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller and can appear heavier or lighter. You must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs as you have. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you.

The changes wrought by this spell fail to hold up to physical inspection. For example, if you use this spell to add a hat to your outfit, objects pass through the hat, and anyone who touches it would feel nothing. To discern that you are disguised, a creature must take the Study action to inspect your appearance and succeed on an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC.

Cast Time: Action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V,S
Duration: Conc <= 1 min

• The creature has Immunity to the Charmed and Frightened conditions until the spell ends. If the creature was already Charmed or Frightened, those conditions are suppressed for the duration. • The creature becomes Indifferent about creatures of your choice that it's Hostile toward. This indifference ends if the target takes damage or witnesses its allies taking damage. When the spell ends, the creature's attitude returns to normal.

Suggestion
Level 2 Enchantment (Pact magic, slot)
Cast Time: Action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, M
Duration: 1 hour
You suggest a course of activity—described in no more than 25 words—to one creature you can see within range that can hear and understand you. The suggestion must sound achievable and not involve anything that would obviously deal damage to the target or its allies. For example, you could say, “Fetch the key to the cult's treasure vault, and give the key to me.” Or you could say, “Stop fighting, leave this library peacefully, and don't return.”

The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or have the Charmed condition for the duration or until you or your allies deal damage to the target. The Charmed target pursues the suggestion to the best of its ability.

Background

In the bustling city of Baldur's Gate, I was adopted by wealthy foster parents. Memories of my true parents were as elusive as the morning mist. Unlike the other children in the household, I was often ignored, except when visitors arrived. Dressed in fine clothes, I was paraded around to showcase the novelty of a fairy in their home. From these moments, I learned the art of impressing the rich and influential.

At the age of eight, a colorful poster for the "Witchlight Carnival" caught my eye, drawing me in with its promise of magic and wonder. My request to attend was swiftly denied by my foster parents. Determined, I waited for a day without visitors and sneaked out, tricking the gatekeeper to gain entry.

The carnival was a revelation; it felt like home among its quirky inhabitants. The sights, sounds, and scents formed a vibrant tapestry of emotions, making the day unforgettable. Near the end of my visit, I found myself drawn to the "Cabinet of Curiosities," a mix of marvel and dread. Among the exhibits was a tiny winged creature, smaller than me but with a knowing gaze. It seemed to plead for my help.

In the shadows, I liberated the creature—a spirit named Twinkle in the form of a Sprite. Together, we escaped over the fence and through the forest. Twinkle, a magical being tied to a powerful master, promised to teach me his arcane ways. As dawn broke, we returned to the manor, but our stealth failed, and I was caught. My foster parents, furious, confined me to the attic for a week. During this time, Twinkle began to teach me magic.

After my confinement ended, I found none of my old clothes suited me. I fashioned a new, eccentric outfit: a pink rug as a purple vest, a towel hat, and net pants. Parading this ensemble in front of visitors enraged my foster parents further, leading to an extended stay in the attic.

Twinkle convinced me that it was time to leave the stifling household. Four days later, in the dead of night, we attempted to escape. An irresistible urge to knock on every door delayed us, and I was caught again. In the ensuing chaos, I used Twinkle's magic to confuse my foster father, allowing me to crash through a window and vanish into the streets.

Life on the streets was tough, but Twinkle's guidance made me resilient. We charmed rich folk, sometimes earning sympathy coins, other times using trickery to steal or sell magical "Fairy artifacts." Many merchants became allies, offering help and spare merchandise. One notable merchant was Dhanell who always had a kind word and sometimes some good food.

I became well-acquainted with other street children and formed close bonds. Later, I met Ashira, a savvy tiefling girl who knew every corner of Baldur's Gate. Together, we ran schemes and survived.

Years passed, and a traveling circus arrived in town. Hoping for a connection to the Witchlight Carnival, I visited. Though there was none, the circus offered a chance to search for it again. I traveled with the circus, perfecting my charm and earning a living. On one voyage, I met a seafaring Harengon, named Brolin.
