History
Relationships

Godrick is one of the main characters in the Mage Errant series.

Godrick is one of the main characters in the Mage Errant series. He started with stone, steel and scent affinities. He is a student at Skyhold and became an apprentice to his father: Artur Wallbreaker. Godrick is the only one of the protagonists to not suffer any magical problem. When inside the Labyrinth under Skyhold, Godrick nearly dies and as such was extremely nervous upon re-entering the 5th floor. Godrick was granted his title for his constant destruction of hammers. He also has developed the affinities that Hugh, Sabae and Talia have following their 4 way warlock pact meaning that he now has stone, steel, scent, crystal, stellar, planar, wind, water, lightning, healing, bone and dream affinities. Godrick has a massive mind's eye due to his training with his father's armour spellforms.

## Appearance

Godrick has black, curly hair and skin darker than Sabae. He is very muscular and tall, based on Hugh's perspective by *The Lost City of Ithos*, at least 7 feet tall. Due to the warlock pact he has unnatural orange eyes.

## Personality

Godrick is an intelligent young man who is extremely friendly and caring. He was fine with being the face of the protagonists group after they become the centre of attention after surviving the depths of the Labyrinth. He rarely gets irritated with anyone and is considered terrifying when angry. After the death of his father Godrick goes through wild mood swings and becomes extremely despondent.

## Abilities

As of *Into the Labyrinth* Godrick had stone, steel and scent magic. He receives instruction from his father on construction of his famed armour spell that produces a towering stone suit far more efficiently than other, similar spells. In *Tongue Eater*, Godrick gains the affinities of his friends due to the warlock pact that Hugh set up.

### Stone Affinity

Godrick is highly trained in his stone magic. He uses it to construct stone suits of armour. His father's armour spell is designed to break apart upon enough damage to help redistribute the force. He can form spikes from his armour, produce stalagmites from the ground, harden sand into sandstone (temporarily and permanently) and cast lithification spellforms. Lithification spells improve Godrick’s control over the types of stone that he practices with. He also has spells to help restore broken stone, like when his constructed armour becomes damaged. He can also destabilise rocks. He can control ice with his stone magic. Godrick frequently reshapes stone into handholds and sometimes carves wards using his stone magic. Godrick frequently makes stone walls and domes.

### Steel Affinity

Godrick uses his steel magic to enhance his various hammers. He can magically control the movement of steel to halt it or increase its speed. He also has a steel spell to push steel away from himself and an spell to pull steel towards himself. Godrick also has armour addition spells that use steel mana. He has a spell to reinforce steel. He has an armour addition spell that plants steel spikes over the stone. Godrick can also bind steel together. Godrick uses his steel magic to launch steel nails towards his opponents.

### Scent Affinity

Originally, Godrick had very little use for his scent magic. He found a book on scent magic for combat inside the great library and presumably learned his spell to make people vomit from it. He has a set of weirdly specific scent spells like creating a bread smell. He is later taught more about scent magic from Ranna. Godrick can track by scent. Godrick also has a far more disgusting scent spell that produces a horrible, vile smell.

### Crystal Affinity

Crystal is one of Godrick's fastest developing new affinities. Godrick is planning to spend most of his time on his crystal affinity because it can be used to improve his armour to allow for significant upgrades in strength, speed, and durability as he now has overlapping affinities (stone and crystal) which would produce exponential results. Godrick can use his crystal affinity to destabilise rock. He can link and unlink crystal patterns. He can control ice with his crystal magic. Using his crystal and stoen affinities, along with his gravity hammer, Godrick managed to collapse a palace onto the Mud King. Dissolving stone is easy due to overlapping crystal and stone affinties.

### Stellar Affinity

Godrick is turning this affinity into siege magic because "It’s already halfway ta’ being siege magic anyhow." Godrick's stellar spells are already larger than Hugh's. Godrick's starbolts almost overwhelm the anti-glare cantrip. Godrick's starbolt is nearly 3 times larger than Hugh's starbolts. Godrick is especially good at destabilising stellar and solar spells from other people because his siege magic means he uses all of his stellar mana at once.

### Planar Affinity

One of the affinities developed from the 4 way warlock pact. Although Godrick has not yet started using his planar affinity but he could make great use of it due to his skill with mathematics and the complex maths required for planar magic.

### Wind Affinity

One of the affinities developed from the 4 way warlock pact. Godrick can use his wind magic to increase his air resistance. He can also move air around, and has done so with moving air from his pocket dimension tattoo so that he can breathe in areas with low oxygen. Wind affinities are excellent for detection. Sabae taught Godrick the windlode spell which pulls in massive amounts of mana from storms. Godrick can also make wind shields. Godrick can launch blasts of wind. He can enhance his movement with wind mana.

### Water Affinity

One of the affinities developed from the 4 way warlock pact. Godrick can manipulate the shape of water and can make it float and move it at will.

### Lightning Affinity

One of the affinities developed from the 4 way warlock pact. His lightning affinity is developing faster than most of his new affinities but is just a bit behind his crystal and healing affinities. Godrick can use lightning bolt spells. Godrick can also connect lightning to his steel nail swarms making them more lethal.

### Healing Affinity

One of the affinities developed from the 4 way warlock pact. Healing is one of Godrick's fastest developing new affinities. However, none of the group is learning healing magic as of yet due to its danger so they are just relying on Sabae.

### Bone Affinity

One of the affinities developed from the 4 way warlock pact. Bone magic is one of the most common ways of performing body modification. Godrick starts casting a simple bone spell that permanently enhances the strength of his bones. The spell needs to be cast every week for years but eventually his bones with be roughly three times stronger. Because of Godrick's Limnan magic, the time needed will be reduced to a year or two before his bones have fully strengthened.

### Dream Affinity

One of the affinities developed from the 4 way warlock pact. Godrick can use basic dream spells to send raw dream mana at his targets. Uncontrolled dream mana has painful effects on the senses. Godrick integrated illusion-anchoring dream spellforms into his armour to allow an illusion of himself to pilot a second suit of armour. The illusionary copy can operate on it's own with minimal oversight.

### Limnan Magic

Godrick spent a short amount of time on the world of Limnus which allowed him to gain the base minimum of the magic. The magic from Limnus does not grant direct energy manipulation but instead grants body adaptions that are developed in response to the amount of stressors that are experienced. Due to the short time spent gaining magic he can not go far outside the human range of adaptions meaning that he would be fine in a few degrees of temperature less or more, be a little stronger, be a little more resistant to illness etc. Limnan magic also provides a decent boost to physical strength to the point that Sabae could lift and hold a man her own weight with one hand.

### Raigon Magic

Raigon's magic boosts memory capabilities and sensory processing. The first stage of Raigon's magic requires a little over 6 months to develop and even the first stage allows people to learn entire languages in a matter of weeks. It will take Godrick around 6 months to develop the first stage of this magic.

### Weapon Training

Godrick has extensive training with hammers from his father. He also knows how to use other weapons like morningstars. Godrick learned how to use these weapons from Artur and the mages of Skyhold that looked after him when Artur was working as a mercenary.

### Eddin Slane's Techniques

Eddin Slane's magical techniques are large, complex, mathematical spellforms that focus on manipulation of a large swarm of objects. Godrick uses this technique with the Kemetrian rune weaponry.

## Equipment

### Armour Elemental - Gravel of Clan Castis

With the help of Clan Castis, Godrick managed to sacrifice two Havathi sentient weapons to produce an elemental/living spell hybrid. The Clan Castis ritual gives structure and purpose to an elemental by building it around a spell. The elemental would grow around that spellform. The ritual works very well with Artur's armour spell as most of the spell is designed for managing the armour's actions in relation to the spell caster's actions. The elemental was created with stone and steel mana so the armour spell selected was one with steel parts added in. The armour spell selected was also chosen as it was easy to modify. The elemental has some growing awareness and seems to like when it is the armour. The armour spell takes space in a separate mind's eye to Godrick's own but it can still be connected to for armour modifications. The elemental has its own growing mana reservoirs. Clan Castis named the elemental 'Gravel of Clan Castis'. Godrick can direct Gravel to reshape his armour and the elemental has made the armour bigger. The elemental is growing faster than expected by at least 30%.

### Mana Battery Ring

Godrick, Hugh, Talia and Sabae each have an aether crystal ring from the use of an aether crystal in their 4 way warlock pact. Each ring has a different colour with Godrick's being the an orange bordering gold. The rings hold a small amount of mana but they are growing over time. The mana is less responsive than the mana from Godrick's mana reservoirs and it refills slower. Each ring has all the affinities of the group due to their mana mingling inside the warlock pact. This means that each ring has crystal, stellar, planar, stone, steel, scent, wind, water, lightning, healing, bone and dream mana making the rings invaluable.

### Storage Tattoo

Godrick has a tattoo on his arm made by Kanderon with her planar affinity and by using some of her aether crystal. The tattoo is usually invisible except when active and it glows the same blue as Kanderon's wings. The storage space started at the size of a small closet but can grow massively over time as Loarna's storage space was the size of a warehouse after several decades. The tattoos are anchors for extra-dimensional spaces. That space acts as a new direction in space and Godrick can take anything from any part of the space.

## Senses

### Affinity Senses

Godrick's sent affinity manifested as an improved sense of smell. His stone affinity sense is far stronger than his steel affinity sense and it is easier for Godrick to dampen his stone sense.

### Pact Sense

As of the four way warlock contract with his friends Hugh, Godrick, Sabae and Talia can all share senses. Upon awakening from the pacting they all unintentionally received the other's sense however after an hour the pact got strong enough to stabilise the senses and they would have to actively try to send and receive their senses. If the senses had not closed off they would have been driven insane but with effort they can convey information like their location, distance and direction from the others and injuries, etc.
