Wheetan is very shy, and refuses to work visibly on
stage. However, the playwrights have found a number of
uses of his magical talents. The above spell list is the one
selected for Kilay's play “The Mul's Escape”; for other
plays he is able to select a different variety of spells.
Unfortunately, Wheetan is not powerful enough to
sustain more than one performance a night. Moreover, as
magic is banned in the city-states and their villages, none
of the plays which use Wheetan's talents can be shown
outside of Salt View. Nevertheless, the people of Salt
View have begun to appreciate Wheetan's talents.
Most other mages in Salt View, notably Xavnon's
lieutenant Ayla, disdain Wheetan's work, saying that
magic is not a tool for entertainment. The shy young
mage does not mind; he receives so much praise from
the theatrical community that he is unconcerned with the
opinions of the other mages.
Wheetan is the current darling of the
playwrights of Salt View. Recently escaped from Nibenay,
Wheetan is working in Salt View as a magical enhancer
of plays. He uses his magic from behind the scenes to
allow playwrights to present more spectacular effects.
