>ask mage about preparation
Glancing at you, the mage sighs. "I heard you," he says. "I could tell you a lot about Warrior Mages once, but it's been years since I've been able to train for my guildleader. I'm afraid I've forgotten most of it." The mage runs his filthy fingers through his hair miserably, leaning against a building as he continues to speak.

"All that I've left that I remember now are the ways of manipulating spell preparation that I devised on my own, an apprentice under Gauthus' tutelage. You can ask me about those, I suppose, but not all of them are easy to use," he states, his eyes lighting up as he gazes at you, reminding you of the mage he must have been.

The mage's fingers twitch slightly as he says, "Oooph. You would ask me that, and it's been so long ... " He stops, shaking his head and closing his eyes. "Long ago I taught many of them to others, but now I only remember a few. Watch, and learn," he suddenly adds in a strident voice.

The mage bows his head over steepled fingers, his eyes closed as an intense look of concentration grips his features. Suddenly, his eyes snap open, his gaze purposeful as the power of his spell grows within him. He gestures.
A shimmering shield surrounds him.

"A child's trick," he says, obviously wearied, as he sinks back to the ground. He picks at a bit of dirt on the back of his hand. "I could teach you, should you ask, but," he glances steadily at you, "it would be for a small fee. I have no wish to continue living like this." He gestures down at his clothing, a look of hopelessness overcoming him.
