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.

Motivations

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.
