About

Mage | Novelist | Summoner

With a natural talent for manipulating aether, Bamimi has always felt a connection to the realm of magic. Moving from the practice of thaumaturgy, she quickly found herself adept at arcanism and script-mastery. Her technique is seen as quite uncommon, preferring to write arcane equations as prose instead.

History

Washed-Up Mage

Bamimi prefers to look towards the future, preferring the opportunities that await her, as opposed to being set in stone.

Enlisted into the Thaumaturges' Guild in Ul'dah at a young age for her aptitude with channeling aether, Bamimi never progressed far through the official ranks. Thanks to the marking on her face she was born with, channeling umbral aether was an impossibility despite the benefit of aethersight it gave to her. She was quickly taught how to handle a sword and became the field-chirurgeon for many excursions. After nearly a decade of duty, she left the guild to pursue her passion for writing romance.
In the time since, she has become an accomplished author, penning more than a dozen novels under her name. Her most well-known book, The Ballad of Green and Gold has received a small number of accolades from publishers around Eorzea.
Recently, Bamimi has been putting efforts into learning the art of summoning and general arcanism. After a chance meeting with an instructor, she was given a fresh tome and a Summoner's soulstone to assist with her learning. With her inability to channel umbral-aspected aether, the conversion process of channeling through inks has allowed her to cast a larger breadth of spells to the point of her learning how to cast without a tome. With no primal to call her own, she has recently taken a fascination with learning the various primals of Eorzea. At the moment, there are a few candidates for her first, but more training is needed on her part.
