Background and Origin
Megan Holt was born in Louisville, Kentucky, on the vernal equinox of 1980. Her childhood was relatively normal, at least until her thirteenth birthday, when her maternal grandmother went missing from her assisted living community. Unbeknownst to Megan, her grandmother had operated as a mystic adventurer known as Spellbinder in the 1940s, and had recently been forced out of retirement by an old nemesis. Megan's parents were aware, but neither shared the aptitude or the inclination to follow in Spellbinder's footsteps; indeed, they had gone to very great lengths to shield Megan and her brother and provide a completely mundane life for their family. That changed for Megan when her grandmother's astral form appeared at the foot of her bed one evening, pleading with her granddaughter to "awaken." </div>
Powers, Skills, and Attributes
Powers
Sorcery - Spellbinder's powers derive from her knowledge of spellcasting. Among the spells she knows, she can summon a variety of eldritch constructs she refers to as "eidolons," often taking the form of spectral animals or elemental golems, which she then directs telepathically. For transportation, she levitates or employs teleportation. In combat against living opponents, she typically relies upon spells of biomanipulation which either heal or harm their targets, and against inorganic foes she often summons mystic lightning. She appears adept at warding spells to shield herself and others from harm.
Skills
Arcane Lore - Spellbinder's knowledge of the occult is considerable, and even without access to her private library she displays a deep understanding of myriad magical disciplines. If she cannot immediately recognize a particular enchantment, supernatural entity or object, then it is most definitely not from "around here."
Academic Knowledge - Spellbinder' knowledge of English literature is what one might expect from a person with a terminal degree in English. She reads avidly, and tries to remain abreast of rising poets via academic journals and correspondence with a network of trusted writers.
Gear and Equipment
Occult Paraphenalia
Talismans and Charms - On occasion, Spellbinder imbues small objects, often handmade jewelry, with magical effects. Notable items she creates include a pair of amulets which enable the wearers to sense the physical and emotional state of the other across vast distances, talismans which offer resistance to spiritual and mental attacks, and the occasional ring which alerts the wearer to the presence of various supernatural phenomena which might otherwise be imperceptible.
Private Library - In the back of her bookstore, there is a doorway which does not connect to a room on the other side of the wall; rather, with the proper spell of passage, it opens into the pocket dimension which houses Spellbinder's private library of magical lore. The extent of her collection is unknown.
Nemesis
Witchbreaker
Spellbinder's most persistent enemy is a man known as Witchbreaker, who employs mercenaries and munitions in his quest to eradicate all supernatural influences from the world. A consummate zealot, he sees no difference between mystic superheroes and malignant entities such as werewolves or the undead.
General Perception
Spellbinder receives little mention in the media. Megan Holt is actually more well-known, at least in literary circles. She occasionally publishes a collection of poetry or writes reviews of others' work.
