Amelia held the new rune book she had found, that last expedition was one of her most materialistically profitable ones; such a hoard of tomes and INTACT pieces of early Dallian meditation stones! Amelia hoped these new tomes would yield new clues to the great mystery of the civilization's fall three thousand years ago at the height of their expansion, technology and power. She had hidden the most valuable tomes in her laboratory; those which detailed the Necrotech which made possible the construction of many of the great ruins which still stood today and those which mentioned the Dallan god of change Sarkran which Amelia suspected was far more important in the Dallian pantheon then any one had previously suspected.

There was no way Amelia would let the wizards of the guild rob her of her bounty and then claim all the credit, they could keep the other tomes since Amelia was supposed to be getting on their good side now that she was to become a full member of the guild but if any one dared not to mention her name in the front page of his work on the tomes she would show to him that the legend of Yazuk the death knight was no mere myth... in more ways then one.

In parties like this Amelia liked to show off and dressed herself with as many treasures from her adventures that she could put on herself without looking completely ridiculous. As a result Amelia wore for this day a cloak made of the webs of the rare moonshadow spider, a shining crown which as far as she could discover belonged to one of the holy mothers of the Adrakus peoples, a number of rings Amelia had dug up out of the great forever frozen lakes in the far north which used to be home to an unknown empire, a war gauntlet once used by the Aldmanic fire warriors during their conquest of the local area and finally a chain which held 7 dark rubies even Amelia had been unable to identify.

As people shouted and enjoyed themselves Amelia occasionally interacted with others but was more focused on the tome and its strange unfamiliar patterns until suddenly the runes sparked with electric power. Amelia dropped the tome and noticed that a wizard most likely an elemental had electrocuted a creature at the same time. Amelia angry at his interference turned to face him picked up her tome and hit him lightly with the tome:

"do you mind keeping your electrons to yourself? i am trying to study this tome but i can't if i get electrocuted each time some one casts an...."

Amelia saw that another magician had cast an electric spell yet it had no effect on the tome, Amelia wondered; was this a fluke or was this tome magically sensitive to this mans magical presence.

Amelia now embarrassed brought down the book and attempted to find the words

"sorry about that... i normally don't come to these parties. do you mind casting the same spell again? i want to check something"
