Title: Professor of Arcane Engineering & Master of the Runic Forge
Race: Gnome

Overview:
A genius in magical innovation, Oswald Pelligrath is responsible for many of The Arcanum’s arcane inventions, from self-correcting spellbooks to floating lanterns. He is a pioneer in Runic Engineering, blending spellcraft with mechanics to create new forms of magical technology. He runs the Runic Forge, where students build and refine arcane constructs.

Teaching Style:

• Excitable and fast-talking, prone to overwhelming students with information.
• Encourages wild creativity—no idea is too outlandish.
• Believes failure is part of learning, often saying, “If it didn’t explode, you’re not thinking big enough!”

Personal Quirks:

• Wears spectacles with six interchangeable lenses, flipping between them constantly.
• Occasionally gets so lost in thought that he forgets he’s talking out loud to himself.
