The half-elven invoker can sometimes be found in the Small Park of Wehnimer's Landing (Lich #288) offering spells to those in need. The invoker appeared on February 23, 2021. Currently, the invoker is thought to be a temporary feature, but no plans have been shared regarding her future. Everything here, including her continuing schedule, spells, or existence, may change without notice.

Schedule

The exact schedule of the invoker has varied since her introduction, usually every four hours but other times as often as hourly. She provides two message on Realm ESP:

[Realm] The invoker thinks, "Residents of Wehnimer's Landing, I will be arriving to Town Square, Small Park in approximately 15 minutes to offer spells to those in need."
[Realm] The invoker thinks, "Residents of Wehnimer's Landing, I am currently at Town Square, Small Park and offering spells to those in need."

She usually departs 15 minutes after her arrival but sometimes stays continuously.

As of 2021-08-12, the Invoker's schedule, in game time (Eastern Time Zone), was: 12am, 2am, 4am, 6am, 10am, 2pm, 6pm, 8pm, 10pm. It changed slightly after Daylight Saving Time ended in November.

Appearance

a half-elven invoker garbed in colorful layered robes
Somewhat taller than average, the invoker is clad in layered robes of jewel-toned fabric.  Several dark, beaded locks spill from her wide hood.  The composition of her features gives evidence of mixed elven and human heritage, and her age is indeterminate.  Stark against her olive complexion, a dotted black spiral is inked upon her chin, and sinuous lines above each brow converge upon a stylized eye tattooed vertically at the center of her forehead.

Messaging

Arrival
Swirling vapors boil up from the ground and coalesce into a kaleidoscopic portal.  A half-elven invoker garbed in colorful layered robes emerges from the portal and surveys the area with cool assessment.
Departure
With broad gestures, a half-elven invoker garbed in colorful layered robes traces a series of arcs through the air, and a kaleidoscopic portal of swirling vapors manifests before her.  She steps into the portal without a backward glance, and it collapses closed behind her with an audible hiss.
Ambient
A grubby urchin sidles up to the half-elven invoker and slips her a folded note.  She glances at it briefly before passing the child a few coins.
Muttering with distraction, the half-elven invoker shuffles several curious trinkets and carefully rolled scrolls from the inner pockets of one jewel-toned layer to another.
Sliding a thin sheaf of parchment from one of her many pockets, the half-elven invoker surreptitiously skims its contents.  She appears to be waiting for something.
The half-elven invoker flips through several pages of gold-inked paper before carefully tucking them away.
The half-elven invoker observes the ebb and flow of passersby, her expression inscrutable.
With the air of a habitual gesture, the half-elven invoker touches several pockets in succession, as though reassuring herself that their contents are still in place.
