Sorcerers of the Wind (CShaH)

__TOC__
Sorcerers who study the spells of the wind are flighty and may seem scatterbrained. They are prone to dance at the passing of a breeze and to give thanks for even the most stifling of desert winds. Other sorcerers may wonder how the students of the wind ever manage to get anything done, but it is obvious that they do. While these sorcerers do not openly flaunt their magical power, when they do utilize their arcane learning, the display is worthy of note.
Just as their element blows the sand, ripples the water, and fans the flame, sorcerers of the wind have a tendency to interfere with the plans of those who study other elements. Wind sorcerers are never overtly antagonistic in their actions; they just seem to get in the way or indirectly affect the workings of other mages. Amazingly, few sorcerers hold this meddling against the wind sorcerers because they often help one sorcerer by hindering another. As long as the sorcerers of the wind do not become too biased in who they chose to hinder, they will be regarded as a balancing tool that keeps the mages somewhat equal.
Wind sorcerers regard this as their most important duty. They strive to keep the balance and prevent any one mage from overpowering and unjustly injuring his fellows. While this has gained them many allies, it has also made them a lot of enemies—wind mages must always be careful whose toes they tread upon.
Sorcerers who revere the wind find other sorcerers to be somewhat quarrelsome and more than a little tedious. They regard the rest of "magedom" as a group of squabbling children who must be carefully watched lest they injure themselves or others. Despite their disregard for the maturity of other sorcerers, wind mages know to respect the power of these "children." Angering the wrong flame sorcerer could have very damaging repercussions.
DMs and players should be aware that these notes are phrased to reflect the effect of an elemental province on the attitudes of sorcerers. They also apply to elemental mages. The difference is one of degree and intensity, as elemental mages are wholly concerned with a single element, while sorcerers focus on two.
