(all 1/day): Alustriel's fang (causes the next
weapon the recipient throws to return as
if it were a returning weapon), antimagic
field, brain spider (allows the caster to
read the thoughts of up to eight people
and even pry for more information),
gaseous form, gauntlet (sheathes one hand
in a gauntlet of force that gives damage
reduction 30/— to that hand and prevents
all contact with it but also prevents the use
of that hand to cast spells), minor spell turning
(as spell turning but affects only 1d4
spell levels and cannot partially turn spells),
Muirara's map (provides a mental map consisting
of the recipient's location, another's location, and
two landmarks known to the recipient), the

target's bones to jelly, turning it into an oozelike
creature), the Simbul's synostodweomer

healing per spell level), sphere of wonder (a
variant of globe of invulnerability that
allows the caster to choose which spell effects
may enter the sphere). Detect Magic (Su): Line of
sight. Enhanced Constitution: The Chosen of Mystra
template adds +10 to Khelben's Constitution. Enhanced Wisdom:
Khelben used wish spells to increase his Wisdom. His Wisdom
score has a +4 inherent bonus included in its value. Epic-Level
Benefits: Bonus spell level x4 (included in the listing below), three
effective levels of archmage (included in the above total), Silver
Fire (Su): See Chapter 1 for details.
Wizard Spells per Day: 4/6/6/5/5/5/5/2/3/4/1/1/1/1. Base DC =
16 + spell level, 18 + spell level for evocation and transmutation
spells. Caster level 23rd.
Spellbook: Khelben makes it his business to know hundreds of
worthwhile spells and a few odd spells that lesser wizards find of
little interest. He knows most of the wizard/sorcerer spells in the
Player's Handbook and in this book.
Possessions: The black staff (a staff of power with a permanent
blackstaff spell upon it that allows it to dispel magic as an 8thlevel
caster by touch, channel various mind-affecting spells, or
cause a touched spellcaster to lose a prepared spell or expend an
unused spell slot), bracers of armor +8, ring of protection +3. As a
very powerful wizard, Khelben has access to incredible resources
and can acquire or make almost any nonartifact item he might
need, given time.
A Chosen of Mystra and a grim, inflexible proponent of law and
order, Khelben Arunsun (called "the Blackstaff" for his magic
staff and several spells that create stafflike effects) is the Lord
Mage of Waterdeep and the husband of Laeral Silverhand of the
Seven Sisters. Few know of Khelben's youth in lost Myth Drannor,
or even his true age—but many have learned to fear him.
Khelben dresses in nondescript black robes and never appears in
public without his black staff. He has a dignified, imposing
manner. He prefers to intimidate or frighten people rather than
revealing his dry sense of humor or his keen, playful intelligence
and quick wits. More than one shrewd observer of humankind
say they see an old, underlying guilt in the Blackstaff, one
that eats away at him—but no one knows (or will say)
what this may be.
In Khelben's pursuit of law and order, he has founded
or supported organizations (such as the
Lords' Alliance) and then abandoned
them (the Harpers) when they no
longer suited his purposes. He
recently resigned from the Lords
of Waterdeep and later broke with
the Harpers over a disagreement
about his methods. He formed his
own group of like-minded ex-
Harpers, known only as the Moonstars.
Khelben acts as the gravely wise, stern
tutor who manipulates agents and adventurers
he meets by reluctantly dispensing
information on a firm "only what you need to
know" basis, never volunteering even paltry tidbits.
In his words, "A secret isn't a secret if you tell
anyone."
His beloved Laeral is probably the only person
who is privy to all of Khelben's plans. She is a
match for him in both intellect and personal
power, and their deep bond of true
love has created one of the most formidable
magical alliances in contemporary
Faerun.
