Changes

''The eccentric genius yet genious theoretical arcane physicist Motskalla Sarcus began her life of science at the tender age of 10, when she got it into her head to try and make a huge, celebratory New-Years firework, only for the old abandoned moathouse turned laboratory beyond the fringes of her hometown of Sprocket and every old field in a quarter mile around it to explode in a cacophony of shattered holiday dreams. Having learned that dreams inevitably lead to hideous explosions, the young scientist turned to more peaceful means of obtaining knowledge. She earned multiple Physical Doctorates and ended up working at Aperture Magic, where after a large number of successful, yet unremarkable developments her next pet project became the 'Monad', an arcane interfacing computing unit when combined with other monads would grow to acquire base sentience and locomotion, and resulted in the near-miss [[Replicator (3.5e Subtype)|Replicator]] outbreak of '73. Barred from working in research and development in perpetuity, she took to teaching the theoretical sciences at Roland University of Magical Technology, only to come under scrutiny again when several of her Baraqijali students turned out to be spies that used her discontinued research on [[Motskalla's Spatial Displacement (3.5e Spell)|spatial displacement]] in order to steal Rolan military secrets. Pretty much decried as a dangerous hack by the whole scientific community at this point, Motskalla found her true passion; archaeology and field work, unearthing ancient magics and long forgotten technologies. Unfortunately, her expedition below the permanent ice of Tursas inadvertently released the ancient Zonder infestation back upon the world. Some people just can't catch a break.''
