During his first century, D'Amico made many friends and was eventually allowed to travel through a portal in the center of Wealdath that led to Ilythri, an outer plane full of pseudo-elven shapechangers. He found this journey disturbing and learned that he should see Faerun before he sees other dimensions. Vega then set out for the prestigious Wealdathian Temple to Mystryl at the corner of the forest where he could be challenged by promising young mages. When he arrived, he preformed for the Arch Patriarch with exellent efficiency. He exhibited a burning fire inside of his mind, a manifestation of the Art only rivaled by the strongest of mages. When he finished (and the Senior colleagues were shocked and silent) the Arch Patriarch turned him down.
His rejection brought him much despair, and, on Eleasias 3, 1362, D'Amico abandoned his home and friends so that he could practice and one day become a member of the Temple. Ten years into his visit, a messenger proclaimed to him that his sister had vanished. Angered, D'Amico set out for the nearest city, Essembra to test himself in their mage guild and eventually assemble a team that would rock the history of Faerun...
D'Amico lies down on a brightly colored blanket, fully content with falling asleep. For safety reasons, he utters a few words and twists his wrist, bringing a celestial giant badger into being. Immediately, the creature sniffs out a nearby Orc, who dives from a bush and begins his assault. The badger and the beast tangle for a moment as D'Amico runs backwards while loading his crossbow. He feels a slight bit of pain as his badger is carved in half by the now chargin Orc. Aiming carefully, D'Amico plugs a bolt into the Orc's abdomen. The creature moans and rubs his wound, a fatal mistake seeing that D'Amico begins a full-fledged attack. His golden eyes glow and his body figets and he recites a string of arcane words. The Orc turms to run, but is instantly baragged by a series of rocks and sharp objects D'Amico fires at him. In a last attempt to vanquish his foe, the Orc circles around the smiling elf, bleeding heavily and profusely sweating. D'Amico utters another few words and a blue globe surrounds him, deflecting the Orc's raining blows. To finish off his bewildered opposition, D'Amico casts another spell and extends his arms outward and points them at the Orc. Thin, seering flames lick at the bleeding beast's body, charring him and burning him to death. Reviled at his own feat, D'Amico washes off his hands in a nearby stream. He kisses his badger and sends him back to his dimension and reads passages out of Evoker Liba'Karan before dozing off.
