| Step 1: Find a Cool Character Artist on the internet |
This was originally going to be a small series of articles, but then I realized just how many dang spells there are. So, I'm going to be putting these up every other Wednesday for a while. Enjoy!
Atkonartok of Frozen River
Spell: Absorb Elements (XGtE pg. 150)
The Frozen River tribe has always chosen their shamans based on their innate magical ability. A shaman that could wade through the river and stride across hot coals unscathed would become their spiritual leader. Atkonartok, though he is only twelve years of age, has been given a name that means "God that lives on land" as he walked across the coals without so much as a singe. He is a young human and inexperienced, but cares for his people and does not wish them to come to harm. He seeks assistance in dealing with a nearby Yeti that the tribe's hunters have been unable to successfully kill.
Mariella Le Coadic
Spell: Alarm (PHB pg. 211)
In the small town of Wallowdale, Mariella Le Coadic is considered a local beauty. Although she wouldn't stand out against the colorful throngs of a larger city, here her bright red hair and splatter of freckles have turned the head of nearly every man in town. Perhaps it is due to a sense of superiority or entitlement that she leads a second, secret life as the Ghost of Wallowdale, a thief that seems to have a second sense about her when she seems to be cornered. Mariella uses her ability and roguish skills to deliver her personal brand of justice, usually targeting those who harm the town or her friends and family. However, a judge from the nearest city, Justicar Hamish, has been assigned to track down the Ghost of Wallowdale, and he is closing in on the trail. Mariella is looking for someone to throw off her scent, especially if they seem gullible enough to take her place on the gallows.
Norman Goddard
Spell: Animal Friendship (PHB pg. 212)
Norman grew up in the village of Penrith, to a family of ranchers that raised every kind of livestock. He always had a sense of animals, and was able to calm even the most rambunctious cattle. He himself, despite his large build and imposing demeanor, was soft-spoken and disliked human company. However, he became known for his ability to wrangle animals, and word of his talent eventually reached the ear of Duke Arnulf Orseolo. The Duke had captured a beautiful black stallion, but the beast was refusing any attempt to be trained, even injuring the royal stable hand. Duke Arnulf decided to send Norman a missive, requesting his abilities to calm the beast. If Norman were to refuse, he would be forced to pay restitution - a sum he and his family could not afford. Norman is looking for someone to convince the Duke to rescind the agreement, pay the restitution, or tame the Stallion in his stead.
Kenese Savaliga
Spell: Armor of Agathys (PHB pg. 215)
The Savaliga people live on a tropical island, and at the center of that island is a cave that holds great spiritual importance to their people. The walls are covered with images of smoke-breathing demons, and the Savaliga people claim that travelling too deep will turn a human into a demon, never to return. Yet, this is where they place their dead, carrying them to a deep underground pit and ceremoniously sending them into the "underworld." The air in the cave is unnaturally cold, and the pit itself is inhabited by the ghost of Kenese Savaliga. Long ago, she was thrown into the pit while still alive, without proper ceremony, because her skin was always as cold as a corpse's. Alone in the dark, she froze herself to death. Now, she seeks those who venture into the pit, hoping they would return her body to the surface and allow her to die with honor.

Oriel Brynjar is a slight, pale girl with cornsilk hair and dark brown eyes. Her village of Arrowmoor was raided by bandits, and her parents killed in the attack. Oriel’s powers awoke when she watched her parents murder; her anger manifesting into darkness and exploding outwards from her. This killed the bandits that were set to attack her next, but she blacked out from the immense power drain on herself. Now, Oriel’s village has cast her out and she has no home, wandering the countryside with her trail of wispy shadow behind her.
Thoman Cooper
Spell: Bane (PHB pg. 216)
Thoman Cooper can really take a hit. As early as he can remember, he had been scrapping and fighting in the streets of the city of Nova Volance, where those who are brave or stupid can make coin in back alley fighting rings. Thoman started fighting when his mother left his sick father, trying to earn whatever income he could to help his Da. Since then, Thoman has risen through the ranks in the fighter’s guild tournaments, well known for his ability to take more punishment than a young man his size should be able to. His wiry build has helped him dodge a blow or few, and some girls would fancy his green eyes, if not for the bruises that are their constant companions. Still caring for his father, Thoman’s mother suddenly reappeared into his life after a bout, and begged him for help to protect her from a recent “mistake” she made. Now he is trying to protect both his parents, and a Halfling baby that his mother brought with her, and he's not sure he can keep it up.
Spell: Beast Bond (XGtE pg. 150)
With his only friend and horse, Bagheera, as his companion, Kasheem of the Wandering Path travels without his tribe. He does not say where he came from, only that he committed a crime against his people and was banished. He will not be buried with his ancestors, nor cremated for defending his people as a warrior. All that remains of his right eye is a gash and a ragged scar below it, symbolizing his exile.

After all, he has a natural talent the Temple can't pass up, who is going to turn him down? However, it seems someone snitched to the head priest of the Temple. The old man finally checked the ledgers, and Chezu is under fire. He needs some under-the-table money in exchange for his services, so he can keep living the good life.

She's becoming desperate to find a better patch of soil to garden in, or at least someone who might know how to solve her problem. All of her gardening friends have been quite stumped.
Magnolia Payne, Witch of Hollowmane
Spell: Catapault (XGtE pg. 150)
The Witch of Hollowmane is said to be like a poltergeist, sending objects flying to scare children away from her home, but she doesn't quite do it intentionally.

One time, she knocked her hat right into the sky, flying straight up off her pink-haired head! Now she's sent some hard-to-replace ingredients for a potion sailing into the air, and is having trouble finding where they went. What she really needs is a reflexive assistant who can catch items on their way up, or a really big net. She'll gladly pay in potions if someone can keep her ingredients from going through the roof.
Beikas Sequoia
Spell: Cause Fear (XGtE pg. 151)
Beikas Sequoia is a towering Firbolg smith. His beard stretches down to his waist, and dark hair covers his coal-black eyes. His forge is on the outskirts of town, for though his products are beautiful as they are deadly, a dark aura seems to surround the Firbolg wherever he goes. Beikas claims even the metal is afraid of him, and it bends to his whim. But his boasts have done nothing to assure his metal suppliers, who have been scared off one by one. Now, a new commission from the Lord of Grenstrong, Harni Keprion, has come when Beikas is nearly out of supplies. He needs someone to find him the steel to finish the job, and hopefully return his suppliers to him.
