Draw of Attention: Others tend to focus on you when you are part of a group. They interact with you before the rest of your group. If you don't give them approval, it is unlikely they will want to bother the other members.

Cook

A little bit of this, a touch of that, a pinch of something and what do we got? Something edible...hopefully. You aspire to turn simple ingredients into great meals.

Dimensional Traveler

Alright, where did that bar go? How much did i actually drink? I don't remember any of these buildings. Where am I?!?! Sometimes with Magic you tend to loose your place in the world.

Whether its on a different planet entirely or wound up thousands of years in the past, you are out of touch with what is going on.
