Renic of clan Wruana is a mathematical savant and magical researcher. Hailing from a society that values savagery and brute strength, he was both feared and reviled by the others of his people and clan. He's still not sure how he ended up on Liminal, but once there, he found he could explore his academic inclinations and endless curiosity with the Wandercrew.

## Personal History

### Pre-Liminal

Renic hails from a world known as Vanalsa, a dichotomous world of two different societies: predators and prey. An extremely aether-rich world, all of its natives have an unusually large (by Liminal standards) capacity for magical energy.

It is this very magical density that eventually begot the two different societies of the world. The prey peoples of the world possessed the capacity to express this aether capacity as magic, casting spells and creating other effects to protect themselves from the predators. Whereas, the predators, Renic's people, typically have no ability to manifest their aether. Despite the high concentration, this buildup isn't harmful. On the contrary, the accumulation of aether causes Renic's people to undergo rapid adaptation or personal evolution, specific to their experiences.

Renic, however, is an anomaly amongst his people. The same genetic mutation that granted him his unmatched intellect also gifted him with the talent to consciously use his aether reservoirs and produce magic. This makes him an outcast, feared for his talents and reviled for his deficiency in equal measure.

**Trigger Warning: Physical and Mental Abuse**

As a result, Renic's past is filled with violent mistreatment at the hands of his clan. While relatively primitive compared to many civilized peoples, the predators of Vanalsa at least somewhat understand psychological conditioning. Painfully punished whenever he tried to actually use his magic, Renic was groomed to fall into the line his people wanted of him. Underneath the buttoned up exterior lies a maze of scars and old wounds.

## Discoveries

### Unique spells

* Collapse the Multitudes - While not able to see them himself, Renic is able to cause someone who has been created by an amalgamation of multiple people to permanently become one of those constituent pieces.
	+ *After witnessing Ento's transformation during the encounter with the Widows, I was inspired by the Vincze-Lahtinen laws of decoherence. In overcoming and absorbing the other incarnation of the other Ento's mourning, hereafter named Ento-Prime, our Ento was able to take on aspects of Ento-Prime's life, including memories and physical characteristics (ex: scars, muscle memory, etc). Based on this observation, I theorized that any creature existing in a superposition state, could be induced to settle upon one of those classical states by an application of magical energy.*
* Resurrection - True resurrection, but only a single time.
	+ *Upon Ento's coup de grâce, ending the Duchess of Bone, her body disintegrated into ashes. However, I noticed that the manner of their fall and the pattern into which they settled was, in itself, an energy diagram for a spell. I hurriedly copied it into these very pages. Upon further analysis, this seems to be a resurrection ritual. An ingenious creation, the revived subject will be safely recreated with no corpse needed to reintegrate spirit to flesh. However, there seem to be some inefficiencies or, perhaps more correctly, some inaccuracies. I would expect some slight error compounding during revivification. This could yield slight personality changes.*

	*Importantly, I believe the spell form itself is unstable and will only work a single time before the world rejects the magic and forces a new pattern to be discovered.*
