MY FAMILY LINE:[/color][/b][/color]
The story of the family line begins almost of 1010 when a singular boy from Czech with incredible talent has been scooped by already existing group of magi for teaching. Unfortunately, he proved to have rather vast power but that incredible power made him also unable to perform magic without killing him, so he became a teacher himself. Once he married to a mere mortal girl from england, his son presented more talent in practicing conventional magic than his father, mostly due to dimnishing the power of the circuits. The real lineage begun then with the magic crest which allowed to transform bricks and walls to dust.
In 1137 one of the Fibri (before the were named Fable) have travelled to india and found a diamond today known as Briolette of India. He later delivered it to Eleanor of Aquitaine, the Queen consort of King Louis VII of France. Lying about being a diamond expert, he wished to analyze the diamond with monetary supply of french king. After several years ancenstor fibri devised a magic in which he made a perfect copy of a diamond using some carbon from his fireplace, cut it and sold it to all Zelretch disciplines, including Edelfeit. That had not come unnoticed to organised group of magi and declared this magic both necessary and dangerous to leave uncontrolled.
Fibri family was since forth becoming a crafting family working for later Magic Association - they were participating in erecting Clock Tower and had continued on producing magical materials which were lost since the age of heroes. The amount of knowledge that the family possessed was vast and exclusive for them
The family was unfortunate to become aim of jealousy of few other familieis in 1600 who wished to posses it's knowledge. An internal fight occured in which Fibri family lost it's most prominient member, who although had children, failed to deliver the magic crest and many of secrets have been lost. While association wished to continue to use Fibri knowledge, with loss of magic crest and ancient scripts on producing as incredible items as mineralized dragon blood, they became little of importance.
The family decided to move from England and change the name to Fable, which was the name only known to those in part of family - normally they used civilian names. They continued to expand their merchant skills around the globe, helping each other without people knowing that most prominent merchants were actually family and magi.
In 1935 the members of the family were accused of being of Jewish heritage and all members of family that remained in europe have been wiped out. Two branches of family existed but in 1950 one of other old magi families decided to destroy it and take their valuable knowledge for themselves. Little they knew, a lot of that knowledge was destroyed.
MY HISTORY
I am Simon Fable - I am XVIII Diamond cutter in my family and considered a genious of that art as I performed my first perfect cutting at age of 19. I have a secret I haven't told anyone - I am a magi. I came from rather old family who abandoned the path of combat for sake of living in propsperity and enhancing the economy - or at the very least, controlling it. Since my grandparents died in the war, my family was never like before and many were close to abandoning our magi heritage saying that we can manage without it and we can earn big, honest money without magic association.
It was not for such words that my grandparents died. Nevertheless, it was decision of my father.
My father did a miscalculation as he suggested another magi of breaking the lineage of magic users in his family by using some kind of spells. While the 'friend' has agreed, he wished to take in possession the secrets we had. My father, knowing how dangerous those secrets are as they can ruin world wide economy, refused.
In 1995, I lost my father, mother and sisters. Our house was raided and only I survived as I was living in other city, in school with a dorm. I have since taken the work of my father and attempted to continue my life as an magi. Yet the fate was closing at me as there were several attempts on my life. I have hired help from magic association to protect me and my books and heritage from assailants, but I quickly learnt that even my family vast wealth could not last forever to keep me safe.
While performing my independant research to how make myself rich, I have tried to recreate the power to change items into gold. From King Midas curse to philosopher stone, I have failed to recreate a curse from times of gods. So instead I searched for solution in science - I have created a magical experimental machine that would change the mass of atoms by enhancing the speed and mass of electrones and rejecting protones from one atom and projecting them to another, till the mass of the atom and amount of electrones was identical to gold. It was a success - although changing items in gold was illegal magic, I have decided to continue my reaserch after one success.
What occured though was tragic - another raid at my house occured and even my hired mercenary magi had failed to protect me. Instead, my house was blown up while I was conducting my research. To keep the story short, the experimental machine fused my right hand to change items I touched into gold.
The curse was horrible - not only I needed myself to stop the curse from spreading from my right hand, I couldn't sleep because I wouldn't know if I wouldn't turn myself into gold. I paid many unconventional magi experts to help me but to no avail. I could not return to association with this as they would accuse me of heretic magic and kill me at spot.
Finally, someone for the right amount of money directed me to possible solution - Holy Grail War.

[/size][/blockquote]
RANK: Outside the circle[/color]
ELEMENT: Earth[/color]

MAGIC CIRCUITS: Simon is an average magus from a middle-aged family. He has 24 magic circuits and a quality of 4 PrC. His maximum Prana is 96[/color]
SPELLS:
[Name of Spell] Midas Hand ([Earth])
Rank:
Cost: [In Pr]
Range: [Touch][/i]

[Name of Spell] Mineral Crafting ([Earth])
Rank: D
Cost: [In Pr]
Range: [Touch]
Effect: Mineral Crafting allows player to change structure of non living objects that can fit his hand. With this, from pieces of carbon Simon can produce a diamond. He can also produce gunpowder if materials are given (charcoal mostly, he can assume nitrogen from atmosphere)
[Name of Spell] Earth Reinforcing ([Earth])
Rank:

[Name of Spell] Mana Storing : Minerals ([Earth])
Rank:
Cost: [In Pr]
Range: [Touch][/i]
Effect: Unlike Zelretch disciplines, Fable family never mastered perfect mana storing but they came rather close. The objects filled with mana slowly lose it every day - the maximal time for object to retain it's magical properties is 3 days. Also the items cannot store spells but just pure mana and can be used as explosive projectiles. The projectile has radius of 0.25 meter of explosion range for each circuit used to enhance it. The item must be non-organic, not-magical and of small size.
It is possible to use such items to restore some mana, but the process of retrieving mana is dangerous for magus body and can be only performed once a day, with still a risk of some health damage.
