Life History
Alina's mother, Alicia, was taken as a child to Al Kharid to deal business with an up-and-coming young merchant by the name of Ali Morrisane (father of the one we all know and love). During the visit, Mister Morrisane recieved another customer, a magician, who came to order runes. To entertain the fascinated young Alicia, that unnamed mage summoned a quaint little parlor trick involving a fire strike and a water strike swirling around in an attractive pattern. Unfortunately, Alicia's family had neither the talent nor the means to teach their daughter the magical arts and the young girl's dream went unfulfilled.

Years later in their home in Pollnivneach, Alicia saw potential in her new daughter Alina Aasim, who took the surname of her father, Alicia's husband. Drawing on that hope, Alicia taught little Alina to read on instructive magic books, pushing Alina to learn the art she never had a way to pursue. It seemed that Alina, mostly just known as Ali, was casting wind bolts before she was properly using the latrine.

Obviously living vicariously through her daughter at this point, Alicia pushed Ali into the Acadamy of Magics in Al Kharid by the time she was ten, and the girl was quick to master the basics of forming magic. The trouble, though, was that Alina did not share Alicia's dream to be able to summon powerful, hypnotic balls of molten fire - she was cripplingly bored by the daily spellbook and had no taste to speak of for combative education.

Near the age of fifteen, Ali was taking a self-scheduled field trip to the local mine when she accidentally unearthed a gigantic, absurdly huge chunk of diamond. When she fashioned this massive jewel onto a staff with a setting she carved under the instruction of a local craftsman, the potential it had for holding inert magic would become the crux of her future practice.

It was around this time that Alina began shirking her standard academic practices and delving into experimental magic. She would have an idea, guess at the rune combination it would take to produce the effect she wanted, and go until she found something that worked. Finally finding a magical style that interested her, Alina poured all of her energy into this science. She found a special love for enchantments, learning how she could buff up her robes to disspell magic against them, how she could enchant the air around a person to cool him off with water in the ugly desert heat, and how just about anything could hold an enchantment - not just predictable jewels - if you worked hard enough to find the right combination of runes to make it stick.

Before too long, she graduated - or left, one of the two - from the magical acadamy. She started to travel across the map to hotspots for magic practice, intent on learning new styles of magic that she could develop into her own experiments. The druids of Taverly were especially critical, because the strange magical properties of their herbs inspired the project that would go on to make her a living: enchanting organic produce.
