Perf is a highly skilled wizard with a great deal of knowledge. He is has shown his skill with magical knowledge, ancient history, and arcane lore. Sadly he suffers from arcane dyslexia and often miscasts spell. The only spells he has been able to cast successfully are the cantrips; knot, summon milk, and vague. It was recently discovered that he is one of the rarest number of wizards who can invert spells, a Retromancer who performs retro-spellcasting.

Perf is a wizard who joined an adventuring party in a quest to find the legendary "Sword of Fighting". An artifact that countless adventurers have sought. For over a year Perf has adventured with his companions; Nara the elf, Carrow the priest of Vieris, and Glorion "Orcslayer" the knight. Perf has a not-so-secret crush on Nara, and Glorion has a nasty habit of bullying him. They have been assigned a bard, Wren, who has been chronicling the adventure so far incognito.

After the slaughter of a countless number of orcs, they discover that they are close to the Temple of ALL Dooms where the legendary "Sword of Fighting" is said to be. The part had split up. The knight heading off to fight a river so he could uncover the entrance to the Temple, while the elf and cleric headed off to retrieve Perf as he ran away yet again.Perf and Carrow were ambushed by orcs, with only here and Nara narrowly escaping. As they ran both accidentally fell into and discovered the Chamber of the "Sword of Fighting" in the Temple of ALL Dooms. When Perf touched it, he was informed that he was the "Chosen One" destined to wield the sword. The Sword of Fighting was an intelligent, both maniacal and rather egotistical to boot. The Sword was not to happy with Perf being the Chosen One, often calling him limp-wristed and such.

As they left they chamber, the group of orcs captured them. They managed to escape once again after Perf challenge their shaman to a magic duel and Carrow returned. Carrow was killed in the initial ambush, and when Per tried to heal him the spell miscast. The spell had managed to raise the priest as some sort of intelligent undead a few minutes afterward. As they head out in search of Glorion, they were captured by an agent of "THE SHADOW". She informed them that other were hired as well to ensure that the Chosen and the Sword be destroyed.

Eventually they managed to escape and have decided to make their way to an Oracle in hopes of finding answers to what the Chosen One needs to do and perhaps find a way to cure Carrow. Meanwhile Glorion managed to conquer the Temple of All Dooms solo, but was angered when the Chamber of the Sword of Fighting was empty. He soon discovered evidence that Perf had been there and most like took off with the Sword!
