Very nice, Lord Santa!  Your spellcrafting was right on the money.  If you feel like it, you can make modifications to his personality to make him something you'll enjoy more.  For instance, in another RP I'm in, which partially inspired some of Protea's magic, I have a character with an unfortunate past and dark powers, but he hides his pain beneath constant cheeriness and laughter and focuses instead on doing what he enjoys.

Good stuff, reddy.
