Profile: To be the most prominent wizard in a nation of technomancers is no mean feat. But while most Rontovarians have some knowledge of magic, they use it mostly for small, mundane tasks, such as ensuring that the edge of a tool is keen, or powering the devices they create. Inboric d'Husa Reon, by contrast, is a master of ritual magic -- the creation of lengthy, complex, and enormously powerful spells -- and a onetime student at the Serene University in Celestial City; despite the fact that Rontovar and the Celestial Empire are at times at war, he retains a correspondence with Tsung the Mathemancer, an old teacher. As a mage, he is mainly interested in the element of Earth, which he can manipulate with considerable power. Like most Rontovarians, Inboric is fascinated by magical devices; he rides one of Rontovar's famed steam-propelled stagecoaches.
