History
Shal Bal was an apprentice magic user when her master was struck down by an evil foe. Her master was thoughtful enough to leave certain magical artifacts about to enable her escape. One of these artifacts was a Ring of Wishes which she accidentally used that transformed her small female frame into a tall well muscled body when she wished she was strong enough to face her masters attacker. This accident was beneficial as it added to the proficiency of her magical skills while she traveled with Ren and Tarl in their adventures across Phlan to assist her friends and avenge her masters death.

Shal posesses a cloth of many pockets, a magical dagger, a crystal ball, a ring of wishes, a magical flying horse originally named Cerulean, then Mulberry (although in the Pools of Darkness novel the horse is again called Cerulean) that she inherited from her deceased mage master and a wand of wonder.
