A classic wizard-style caster, but built as an Incanter instead of a Sphere Wizard.
BUILD RULES

SUGGESTED GROWTH
Anything you'd like. However, the Armored Magic talent of the Protection Sphere is a good choice at 2nd Level, and will measurably improve your defenses.
NOTES
-The human feats were spent on Improved Initiaitive (to help you act) and Extra Spell Points (so you can do more each day).
-Your starting abilities are Destruction (a 1d6 blast of Magic Bludgeoning damage), Divination (check for magic auras and living things - note the 10 minute casting time), Life (heal damage and cure some basic conditions), Protection (various defenses, although you need more to truly increase your AC), and War (give allies a damage bonus).
-This character has the Verbal Casting and Somatic Casting drawbacks, as well as the Easy Focus boon. This means you can concentrate on one effect (say, your Totem of War) with a Move Action while casting other stuff with a Standard Action (like, say, your Destructive Blast). This often gives you the benefits of a power without having to spend a spell point on it, although you won't have much in the way of mobility.
-You could also take the Magical Signs drawback if you don't mind your casting being (even more) obvious. At this point, it won't hurt you much.
-This character only has one trait selected. The other trait can be anything you want (like, say, a Campaign Trait).
-Similarly, they haven't purchased any gear. Buy what you need, but note that Somatic Casting interferes with Armor and Shields.
