King Tut
Sounds like you are an experience and knowledgeable wizard Renwick...I might have to hire you for my future plans. I like your strategy, if building a future paladin was disastrous, the obvious answer is to build a future warlock; the yin to the pally's yang so to speak.
Tut has visions of gleaming mechanical creatures. And tin foil, he wants to create tin foil. Because tin foil is good for grilling and it could potentially lead to galactic and temporal travel. Now I just have to gain a bunch of levels, earn a few thousand G, learn how to make stuff, find a place to make it, and find stuff to make it with.
Interdimensional Basement Travelling Blue Plates can't be too far off.
