Understanding Crafting Through Examples

Mageseeker and Mageseeker Apprentice
I decided to have several tiers of Mageseekers in my campaign. When first encountered, my players met with one Mageseeker and an apprentice, as well as a handful of guards. Mageseekers can easily be scaled up for higher level adventures, which I will be doing when my players return to Demacia.
