Tenser

Tenser was a legendary mage from Oerth who was known in the Realms, particularly for his spells. "Of course, crazy Tenser."

- Robillard

Description
Tenser was a notable wizard who made his mark upon the Realms, alongside Bigby, Elminster, the Simbul, Mordenkainen, and Khelben. Two of his spells were widely used across Faerûn and beyond: Tenser's transformation, and Tenser's floating disk.

Possessions
Some of the many magical items possessed by Tenser included an amulet of proof against detection and location, a cloak of displacement, some dust of disappearance, a pearl of the sirines, a ring of human influence, a ring of protection +3, a ring of fire resistance, a staff of the magi, a staff of striking, a staff of thunder and lightning, and a wand of enemy detection.

History
"I could have done that with much more flair."

- Robillard

"So could Tenser."

- Harkle Harpell

During a heated spellcasting contest, Robillard and Harkle Harpell discussed Tenser. Harkle asked the pirate mage if he knew of Tenser, and Robillard answered that he did, describing Tenser as "crazy". Robillard pondered the implications of Harkle's question, assuming that he would transform into a raging warrior as per Tenser's transformation. After yelling "Not the Tenser!", Robillard rushed Harkle in a tackle before he could transform.
