I write you on behalf of my former apprentice, in the hope that your number may yet find a place for her among your ranks. I realize fully that one of her stature and relative youth can easily be underestimated, and thus seek to offer testament to her skill and exceptional ability.
In the three years I have overseen Vykalidan Galurea Bloodthorne, I have been witness to the unparalleled precision and exceptional skill with which she operates. As her former Master, I am merely supposed to certify that she has demonstrated command over the rudimentary principles of Fel magic, such as summoning, occultism and conjuration. However, I do not believe that her skill is adequately encompassed by this statement, and thus wish to elaborate further.
When first I took her under my care, I noted this particular enchantress to be a creature of uncommon talent. The nature of her aptitude was much like that of titan steel— if properly tempered, it would be capable of defeating nigh any foe—yet should its creation be in any way misguided, its potential would be inevitably squandered. That stated, what I offer you is not merely my former apprentice, but what I believe to be a ruthless, conniving weapon, of mettle unmatched.
Her personal characteristics include a sharp intellect, paired with a biting wit. She has the ability to separate the wheat from the chaff within any group, and to choose allies accordingly. Furthermore, she has demonstrated a mastery of complex, antiquated rituals. The creation of curse stones and the lost art of blood divinations— magics she pursued of her own will whilst serving in the Apothecarium under the supervision of the Grand Coven of Lordaeron. It should be noted that to do so demonstrates her notable courage, for these powers require superior command over one’s own will. Failure can, in some cases, mean the demise of the unwitting practitioner.
This quality did not go unnoticed, and lead her to pursue a career in the most recent year as a Deathbringer on the Arathi front. It never ceases to fill me with pride when I hear of the pure, unadulterated malice with which my girl executes the former allies to her people. Such dedication, such obedience, merits reward.
In closing I implore you to accept this fine young elfess into your number on the basis of her exceptionality and her potential utility to you. I highly recommend The Grand Warlock Vykalidan Galurea Bloodthorne of the Undercity for hire and subsequent promotion should ever she be deemed worthy.
With Great Humility,
