Atwin

the Sage Sprite Lecturer · the sprite lecturer

A legendary rare who looked like somebody's grandfather, lasted two hours, and spent them explaining that these are real summonings.

Story so far

Daniel Bautista pulled the tag on a figure labelled a Sage Sprite Lecturer because it said he was a teacher and, he admitted, because he looked a little like his grandfather. Atwin came out of a Sheol Glass Reaper Case — legendary rareness, one of only five, and lasted two whole hours.

He was helpful and openly contemptuous, acting as though Bautista were an idiot for not knowing what he was holding. He taught him how to read a figure's rarity at all, explained that rarity governs duration, and made one point he insisted was enormous: these are actual summonings. It looks like you are creating a new creature, because of the way they die and scatter beans, but you are teleporting a real one of those creatures to you. Bautista could not see the difference. Carl, hearing it, thought immediately of Princess Donut's Clockwork Triplicate, which is most definitely not a real summoning.

Bautista's regret is that he burned one of his five legendary rares on a conversation before he was ready to need one.

Appearance

A small sprite lecturer with a grandfatherly bearing and no patience for ignorance.

Role

The summoned tutor who taught the whole tag mechanic — and, indirectly, told Carl that these creatures are being dragged here from somewhere real.

Relationships

Daniel Bautista — Summoned him from a glass case and got a two-hour lecture instead of a bodyguard.
Sheol Glass Reaper Case — Was stored in one, like all of Bautista's legendary rares.
Clockwork Triplicate — His distinction between true summoning and temporary copies is what makes Donut's spell the counter-example.
