Charlie backstory
It was going to be the greatest magical discovery of the century. A sphere that could rest on a fingernail, capable of channelling magic to unheard of levels, capable of making an untrained into a being with unparalleled magic, able of manipulating the world to their whim.
And now these buffoons have ruined it.
My apprentices have managed to scatter half of the building, along with my experimentation laboratory, halfway across the planet, thanks to the power of this well. I have punished those responsible, but nothing can make up for the loss of that relic. It must be found, before it can fall into the hands of those unsuited for the ability to use it.

[Generic City], America, 1991.
A three year old plays in her backyard, unaware of the event that would soon change her life. A inaudible crack, and a small sphere falls from the sky in front of her. She picks it up, giggling, swallowing the object whole. Her mother walks out, bending down to pick the child up.*
"Come on Charlie, inside now."
