Physical Description:
Alabaster Zinc has stopped caring about his looks, and it shows. His black hair has grown into a long tangled mess. There is no light behind his blue-grey eyes. He has scraggly patches of facial hair here and there- he seems to hate shaving. His robes are wrinkled, and he always smells kinda funny.

Zinc carries a wand made of birch wood.

Personality:
Dry and unenthusiastic, Professor Zinc hates his job. He knows full well that the magic he teaches has no marketable application, and isn't shy about telling people this. Not that anybody was interested in his field to begin with- people go into enchantment to put spells on things, not take them off.

It's not uncommon for Professor Zinc to arrive late to his own class- some days he won't show up at all! He rarely has any students though, so he's managed to get away with this for the time being. He spends most of his "class" taking naps under his desk.

Relationships:
None yet.

Magic/Abilities:
Professor Zinc is a master at disenchanting objects- quite possibly the best in his field. He's trained himself to be able to "see" enchantments and curses- if somebody is carrying a magical sword, for instance, he'll know what it does just by glancing at it.

History:
Professor Zinc was suckered into this job.

Having dreamed of being a cursebreaker since he was a little kid, Zinc worked exceptionally hard to get accepted into Wyrdwood. Tuition was absurdly high and he ended up going into debt to attend, but he figured he'd find a way to pay it all off later. The other students laughed at him for choosing to focus in disenchanting, but he'd show them. When he became a legendary cursebreaker, he'd be laughing at them.

Or not.

After graduating from Wyrdwood, Zinc found there was no work available. Removing curses from objects simply wasn't something people were willing to pay for- not when priests did the job for free. The man floundered about for ten years, taking odd jobs in order to pay off his debt. "My education wasn't a waste of time." he told himself. "Something will come along. I just need to be patient"

Finally, something did come along- the position as "Professor of Disenchantment" at Wyrdwood. Realizing he'd gotten stuck in a cycle, Zinc vowed to put people off of going into his field so he would be the last to hold his position.

Sign up for disenchantment class, kids! It's not a waste of time at all!
