"Actually he's dropped in your hands..." Willard began. V gave him a glance and he shut up.
"None of us chose to be here, I would have thought that my appearance alone would have made it abundantly clear that I am not a native to this land, that I, like you are among the sundered. I have crucial business back on my plane that requires a primary spellcaster. However, while we are here, to fail to avail ourselves of the opportunity to learn all of the arcane arts that we can. Further, when I or someone else manages to learn the way to return us to our respective proper places and times, should that be an issue. If the gods are kind, and past experience has made that a dubious comfort at best, then time is not an issue. If it is then the spells required to restore us to our homes will be exponentially more difficult The short version of the situation is that until we are able to return home, we have no reason to resist the opportunities presented to us. We can learn these skills and take these levels home with us when we return. Think of them as a prestige class if that will make it easier for you to comprehend. As you are not a wizard, you will likely not be of aid in the spells we are researching to return us from whence we came, therefore, you have little to do BUT learn, which I admit is a rather enviable position. Take advantage of the rapid XP gain this place offers."
