Naleem Bon is mad, emotionally unstable and deluded. In that regard he's not so different from most people really. However, he has turned madness into an art form. He sincerely believes he's a wizard who gets his power from being in contact with dirt. So he never wears shoes. He doesn't wash either because every little bit of grime adds to his power. Not surprisingly he has no friends and most people shun him. People can be such harsh judges of character. Although, to be fair, he isn't a very likeable person. Indeed he cultivates aloofness. He was a concert violinist but he took music in an odd direction, convinced that disharmony was actually another source of wizardly power. So he doesn't have much of a following. If the cards had been dealt differently Naleem may have gone on scraping together a living busking in the street, interacting with others rarely and harming none. But it was not to be. Naleem Bon the Barefoot Wizard is a pivotal character in Veil of the Gods.

Here's the character sketch from Veil of the Gods for today.

Okay. I know. I'm supposed to be resting. But there's nothing like a terminal diagnosis for inspiring me to get as much created as possible before I go.

Glyph 999 is one of the most potent tools a Mahjuti practitioner can acquire. In essence a Glyph is a hack into the metaphorical operating system of the Reality Mesh. The technology behind the creation and use of glyphs is too extensive to explain here. In simple terms, however, it requires that the Mahjee who constructs or wields the glyph must be meticulous in its creation. The slightest error can generate unintended ripples of cause and effect that may return to the Mahjee in unexpected and sometimes disastrous ways.
