Title: Expedition into the never never
Post by: jeangenet on October 06, 2016, 05:56:09 PM
How would a wizard (specialising in air) prepare for an extended trip deep into the never-never.  What kind of enchanted items might they take with them. What mundane equipment would they take with them.

Depends what direction they are heading in terms of "Deep" insofar as what environmental challenges they might run into.  They will need food and water, as anything that they find there will, turn back into ectoplasm once they return, regardless of whether their bodies have assimilated it into their bones or tissue (per WOJ). Anything that could potentially protect them from a hazardous environment would be reasonable, from clothes for various climates and heat/cold protections on up to and including a self-contained air supply, or some sort of magic recycler maybe since they are an Air specialist.

Maybe the wizard can do something about summoning a guide?  After that, enchanted items to make travel/running away easier may be useful, say something like Harry's parachute potion from Changes.  It depends on what kind of environments you're expecting to run into.

Environmental survival gear aside, you'll need to be ready for a fight. The Nevernever is jam-packed with monsters.

Since it's an extended trip, bring some crafting gear. You'll almost certainly want to make potions and enchanted items while you're there.
