You're a wizard. There are many wizards and mages present across the lands, but every society treats their magical citizens to a higher degree. Wizards are often found in the higher echelons of society, using their magic and status to influence events and garner power for their own ends.
Maybe you'll be different, or maybe you'll become stuck in mediocrity peddling discount enchanted items in a village. But that's later. You have some things to figure out first:

What race do you hail from?
The Dwarves' wizards inherit their magical abilities through artificial means after they are born to one of the noble families present in Dwarven society.
The numerous wizards in Human towns and cities spend most of their childhood studying as apprentices before they're finally ready to head out for themselves.
The very rare Elven wizards can often be found leading their small groups or vying for power in Elven cities, but once in a blue moon one can find an independent Elven wizard.

And what is your name?

Spoiler: What is this? (click to show/hide)

It's a semi-casual suggestion game. It's not exactly original - I can count above 11 variations of "You are a Wizard" just by searching that in the forums. The title includes "Fantasy" just for information's sake and to differentiate it in the very rare case of one of the mentioned variations being revived.
But that doesn't matter!

You will likely encounter external events and a kind of plot present in the game, but it's largely essentially a "sandbox" in the way similar to any other "You are a _______" game.

You are Cazot Bobokundin, Wizard of your noble family in Silverhalls, and today is the day you finish your training.

Your great great grandfather is the one you have to thank for your abilities. He spent his life dedicated to unlocking his true potential, and because of his sacrifice, a line of wizards was created and your family was brought into nobility. Only six years ago, you were granted the gift after the death of your father. The ceremonies were mournful yet they still represented the transfer of something very valuable to the family.
Since then, you have been training and studying every day to properly learn how to use magic. Your family isn't prestigious or powerful, but now it has you. You don't plan on disappointing your father.

As is tradition, you have been given full responsibility with the noble family home, and the rest of the family has moved in with their non-noble relatives. Sometimes you feel stifled by the ancient rules dictating Dwarven society, but tradition is tradition. You are expected to raise a family and advance yourself and your relatives into higher status and power. Few dwarves abandon their post, as abandoning it means the abandonment of their homes. For an unexpected death not surrounded by family can permanently end the magical line in a family, dooming it to a lower-class existence.


With your training done, you enter your now-empty home with opportunity in the air. By all accounts, you're still very much a "newbie" wizard. Your training has only allowed you to know how to use your gift, but your actual abilities are extremely lacking. The wizards in every Dwarven noble family all start out like this, but they go on to achieve great things. New abilities and spells can be created by hand, or can be learned from other people or sources of knowledge in a relatively short period of time.

Yet tradition rules that you must balance the pursuit of greater magical power with raising a noble family. Sometimes you hear tales of a fantastical world from the traders and peasants that travel outside Silverhall, but according to society, that's not the life for you.
What do you do now?

You walk into what used to be your father's laboratory. After retrieving some choice literature from the assortment of shelves, you take a moment to ponder what to aim for.

You stare at the bright fireplace in the back of the room. The fire itself is fueled from the deep forges within Silverhall, but staring at it gives you an idea. You find a book relating to basic Pyromancy and spend the next few days in studying it in your laboratory. Eventually, you start to have an idea of where to start with the creation of Pyromancy-based spells. Initially, while again staring at the ongoing fire, you think of a spell allowing for basic control over fire. Ultimately, this idea is discarded for the time being but it serrves as a spring into higher inspiration.
Flame Tongue. A simple spell to create a "tongue" of fire extending from your hand and licking a target. The basic effect can be achieved via your own "customizations" on the techniques for flaming hands. However, the difficulty is in the range. There are more advanced techniques that could be used in creating the spell, but those are well above your abilities.

A week filled with experimentation and accidental fires later, you finally finish. Flame Tongue allows you to extend a flaming tongue of roughly 3 inches from your hand and manipulate it to a limited extent for 5 seconds. From your experimental use of it, you believe its physical toll to be equal to that of 3 mana. You feel more prepared to take on further spells in the school of Pyromancy, as well! With this done, you consider spending some time with the more elder wizards in Silverhall, but it's extremely nontraditional for wizards to seek help outside the family after their training, and you doubt you could get anyone to help.


As you do further testing with your new spell, you hear a knock on the door. Opening it reveals your sister, Casset.
"CAZOT. Where the hell have you been? As the wizard of the family, your duty is not to stay inside your empty house all day. Your family, your mother, all need you to act responsible for once in your life. If you decide to do your job, we need you at the lower Family home tomorrow. There are things to be done besides magic if you care about your status at all."

You are the head of your family now, which means it's ultimately up to you what you do, not your sister or any of your family. She does have a point about your status and position, however.
