Quotes:

"Professor Byron told me of a demon I could summon to make myself taller and slimmer. I remember just sitting up nights staring at the tome and daring myself to open it."

"Why oh why couldn't I get a raven familiar like all the cool summoners?"

"It's strange to be in Gesselheim again... it's like coming back to a home you remember seeing but never actually lived in."

Story

A native of Gesselheim, Lesandra's family moved north to Relecour to escape the poverty and lawlessness of their homeland. At the age of 10, Lesandra summoned and bound her first outsider, and was granted an apprenticeship at Argent University. Working for years as an apprentice librarian and custodian under Vice Dean Byron Krane, Lesandra's skill grew considerably over the years, and she was eventually enrolled in the college, where she graduated with exceptional marks and continues her study in the graduate program. For her graduate studies, Lesandra is seeking out Hepzibah Culotre, the legendary vivimancer who managed to perfect a spell of true resurrection. However, as the Gesselhemian situation grows more dire, Lesandra becomes tangled in more than she bargained for, being forced to choose sides in a war between her homeland and her new friends in Relecour.

Unofficial Rule FAQs

Q: What are the situations in which Binding is triggered?

A: Binding is triggered whenever an opponent activates one of the effects listed in "movement effects". It is applied even if the distance for the movement was chosen to be 0, the movement was impossible due to movement restrictions or, the movement was ignored. Is is not triggered if the movement was optional (keyword "may") and not used. If a triggered effect includes multiple movement effects Binding is triggered for each of them. (Official FAQ)

A: No. Her familiar will stick around until it is banished, anted or a new is summoned. (Official FAQ)

Q: Can Lesandra summon Familiars for no cost when she has 1 life?

A: Yes. Her summoning makes her lose life (not spend life), and losing life at 1 health has no effect. (Unofficial thread)
