	Blake is considered strange by the standards of normal sorcerers. He often spends months in his tower without leaving and gives extremely valuable gifts out to the people who live near him. He has a reputation of being highly dangerous but people under him feel safer when he is around. He is mildly manipulative offering Lydia, who was investigating him for murder an apprenticeship. Blake insists that he would never commit violence against Edrick Theas and his family over academic disagreements. He is also slightly paranoid installing protections on his dominion marked items so that one has to be connected to them to use them. He also believed that spreading knowledge of dominion marking would lead to the extinction of humanity. Hartigan is more likely to burn a building down than to hire assassins. He is also highly intelligent. Blake was both polite and friendly to Lydia.		Blake is considered strange by the standards of normal sorcerers.

	Blake Hartigan is immortal in a sense. He managed to perform a ritual ~~that~~ Kelryssia a goddess of sorcery failed. The ritual allowed him to take control of his cycle of reincarnation and ensures that when he dies he is reborn with all of his memories. He does not retain his dominion connections and needs to retrain in each life.		Blake Hartigan is immortal in a sense.

	==== Dominion Marking ====		===== Dominion Marking =====
	Dominion Marking is a far more complex type of enchanting. Blake's methods of creating dominion marked items involve the use of refined dominion essence. Hartigan uses dominion marks for several reasons: the essence from dominions is stored within the mark rather than the item itself and the ability to connect a dominion marked item to something else - like connecting a person to an item so they can access new types of essence or to use the item as a catalyst to connect to a dominion. Hartigan creates artificial gemstones and then transfers the essence from materials saturated with dominion essence into the gemstone. He then adds the gemstone to an item and applies dominion marks to the items.		Dominion Marking is a far more complex type of enchanting.
