Taken Veterans - Balanced Character Builds
Callow - Female Breton Pyrocaster

Allow me to introduce you to Callow, a level 30 Breton Mage highly skilled in Destruction, Alteration, and Conjuration. Callow feels called to deliver judgement upon the evildoers of Skyrim. Judgement as in death, and death as in by righteous, cleansing fire.

This Lawful Neutral bringer of justice lists among her few likes "Obeying Orders", "Following Rules", and "Silent Nods of Assent". Among her numerous dislikes are "Bad-Boys and Rebels", the "Undead", and "Public Displays of Affection". Motivated soley by the rules of society and expectations of others, Callow knows little joy in life. But if you look quickly enough and closely enough, after she's sent a pleading bandit flying, screaming in flames, off a high cliff, it is said, you may just get to see her smile. Briefly.

In combat, Callow uses Fire themed spells, bringing down as much damage onto the scene as she can afford, as fast as she can, then picking off the survivors one by one.

She has a thin skin, however, and without active Alteration spells and perks, will die quickly in direct engagements.

Callow comes with 29 unallocated Perk Points,
300 Magicka (+50 Highborn),
190 Health, and
100 Stamina.
