JESTER
Light-hearted Jester has ever been the Academy prankster, putting his keen intelligence and high spirit into playing jokes upon 'corns, students, and faculty alike. Unfortunately, he often neglects to think of the possible consequences of his actions; all his pranks are pulled in a friendly fashion, so he simply does not understand why his victims quite often seem upset with him. His use of his talent to facilitate these jokes, such as the time he decorated the Headmaster's room with lacy undergarments, has sometimes been referred to as outright thievery--though he maintains that he's merely "borrowing" the items; he'll give them back, of course, should he ever run into their owners. The Elders frown upon his flippant disregard for others' property, but what does he care? Jester just wants to have fun, and that means that, while he's fully aware of concepts such as "duty to the Light," and such, he's of the mindset that that's someone else's task to fulfill. The Elders only hope that years, and eventual Bonding, will cure him of his "Devil may care" attitude.
Jester has the ability to "pull" (i.e., teleport) inanimate objects from other locations, though generally from somewhere within a five-mile radius -- though he could theoretically overstep those boundaries if he expended enough energy. The task's difficulty is determined by the object's size, and by its specificity (i.e., it would be more difficult for him to conjure up a teacup than just a random object of similar size). Conversely, the task is made less difficult by his familiarity with the object, or certainty of its location -- there's less searching involved. If there's no such item within his range, he either returns nothing, or a random object, perhaps of similar characteristics. It's important to note that all objects come from "somewhere"--i.e., should Jester decide to produce a set of fine silverware under someone's sheets one evening, the next morning might find a Pallahade noble reporting a robbery to the local magistrate. He is a fair, if disinterested fighter who usually resorts to his magical tricks rather than risk physical contact.
