Ptack was a Netherese arcanist and spell inventor who lived during the Shadowed Age.[1]
History[]
Ptack developed five spells during their life, all within a two year period. The spells they invented were crystalbrittle and knock in 3356 NY (−503 DR), and secret page, nondetection, and wizard lock (which was used to upgrade the quality of a lock) in 3357 NY (−502 DR).[1]

Notes[]
- ↑ The races of the arcanists in the full table (Netheril: Empire of Magic pp. 23–28) are not explicitly referenced, unlike in the NPCs list (Netheril: Empire of Magic p. 106), which states that they are assumed to be human unless said otherwise. However, the text after the "Spells" heading (Netheril: Empire of Magic p. 22) says that the spells are "Netherese spells", and the text following this is from the perspective of the Netherese (humans): "Other spellcasting races dispute many of the claims made by the Netherese regarding who first created what spell", etc. For this reason, the arcanists provided in this list (and mentioned in other sections of the sourcebook) are assumed to be Netherese humans.
