Michel de Nostredame

A Caster-class skill, it is the skill to build a special terrain that is advantageous to oneself as a magus, such as for the purpose of collecting mana.

A Caster-class skill, It is the skill to manufacture magical items, from implements of war to items for daily use. Also, this skill requires time to gather components and manufacture items.    Oddly, any items Nostradamus creates come in the form of books with various special effects, depending on what the intent of the creation was. Books of prophecy and medicine are by far more effective than any other books upon creation, with Nostradamus receiving a rank up in parameters in item construction when creating those two types of books specifically.

Before he wrote any sort of prophecy, Nostradame, later Nostradamus, practiced Medicine and became well known for it in Provence, having made a ‘Rose Pill’ that was able to ‘cure’ many people and had even managed to secure work with Jules-Cesar Scaliger, a leading scholar of medicine.     Unfortunately, while on a medical mission to Italy, his wife and children succumbed to illness, and he was ashamed for not being able to save them.

Nostradamus was most famously known for his ‘prophecies’, which varied in accuracy, but there are numerous accounts of each of his ‘prophecies coming to pass.    With this skill, Nostradamus will receive visions of events in the future, there is a chance of the event failing to happen, but more often than not, the events Nostradamus Prophecies will come to pass.

In many sources, Nostradamus will often fall into a trance-like state to improve his divinations and his writings of prophecies. The method itself is unknown but is said to be similar to that of Delphic and Branchidic Oracles.    This skill is better used outside of battle, where he can use this skill in tandem with [Prophetic Divination] and [Item Construction] to compile any prophecies that come to him.

Eccentric, Odd, and Prone to outbursts of prophecies or diatribes about the occult and medicine. Nostradamus is a handful on good days and an outright annoyance on others, he is smug and slightly condescending to those around him. But this is not born out of malice, but rather from a sense of pride from having knowledge of events that will come to pass.    He is showy, prideful and a total diva, one could call him a charlatan and a pretender. While he is not an outright failure in whatever he tries, his disposition and eccentricities have greatly hindered the heights he could have reached with his natural genius.

When summoned, Nostradamus appears as a cheerful grey-haired and bearded old man. He wears a beret and dark robes with a grey shirt, black pants, and dark shoes underneath.    He carries with him his Noble Phantasm everywhere he goes, constantly reading from and writing down any predictions that come to him.

Nostradamus was a French Physician who was famous for her predictions, he was known for being able to predict the death of Henry ll, the future pope Sixtus V and various other events, although there are numerous scholarly debates about the validity of his predictions.     An interesting fact to note about Nostradamus, he was expelled from his university for having worked in an apothecary, a trade that had been already banned around that time. Despite this, he continued to practice medicine, becoming known as a doctor and for inventing a ‘rose pill’ that ‘cured’ the plague.

Nostradamus will treat the Master as a student, with constant lectures and long-winded speeches. Constantly ‘teaching’ the Master in medicine, astrology, and various other topics he is knowledgeable in.    One should listen with half an ear, as he refuses to acknowledge modern medicine.
