As a baby you were kissed by wild magic in a mysterious way. Some say a fairy who your parents offended came to give you a "blessing". Others say you were a hyperactive, accident prone infant and that you accidentally dreamwalked into the feywild. However it happened, no one in your village knows. But you have access to the most unpredictable and chaotic magic there is.
Your childhood was quite difficult. Wild magic rarely worked in your favor as it was more likely to cause catastrophe. Faux pas and multiple disasters caused others to walk on eggshells around you or even shun you completely. None of the other children wanted to come over or invite you to theirs so you had no friends. That is, until your mentor showed up. A hardy, infamous Dwarf stepped up and knocked on your door one day. He was a famous Arcane Jeweler who had heard of the rumors surrounding your magic. The disasters and accidents you caused had spread even to the dwarves deep underground. The dwarf told your parent/guardian that he could help you control your magic and offered to take you on as an apprentice.
He took you to his dwarven home and trained you in the art of magical gems and jewelry. You learned how to cut gems, melt and mold precious metals, and most importantly you learned how to contain your magic by channeling it into jewelry. You might specialize in cut gems, worn jewelry, or ornamental pieces fitted for weapons and armor. Whatever your specialty, the items you create come with a warning "wild magic beware".
- Skill Proficiencies: Arcana, Nature
- Tool Proficiencies: Jeweler's Tools
- Languages: Dwarven, Sylvan
- Equipment: A set of fine clothes, a case of various raw and cut gems, a cart and mule, a letter of introduction stating your business, a dwarven memento from home and a pouch containing 10 gp
Because of the time you have spent in your trade, you can identify magical and non magical jewelry at will. You have advantage on any checks associated with jewelry and wild magic. You also can use Scrolls of Identify as if you already knew the spell, since you have used it many times over the years learning enchantments and their properties.
Wild Magic Beware:
The jewelry you make is imbued with wild magic. When someone first uses or wears your special-made jewelry, gems, or adorned weapons, you must roll a d20. If you roll a 19 or 20, you must then roll on the Wild Magic Surge table below for their result. On this table, "you" refers to the user or wearer of the item.

Controlling your Magic:
You have a set of jewelry, gems or an adorned weapon that you use which you have made for yourself. You have imbued a massive amount of your wild magic in this item. Choose an item below or roll a d20 to determine the item.
At last you have learned to control your magic by storing some of it within this item. In order to keep your magic under control you must choose to use your item once a day or between each long rest. At the beginning of the day, you can "prepare" by rolling a d100 on the wild magic surge table. Whichever magic surge result you roll, you may choose to switch out that result in the table for something else that you choose (that is comparable). To clarify, the result does not happen but you can leave it in the table for the rest of the day so that you may possibly land on it. At the end of the day this reverts back to the original table.
*If someone who buys or is gifted a jewelry item from you has to roll on the table, you may choose not to that day.

Dwarf-Friend:
Your mentor took you in when you were young and while he took you on as a mere apprentice, you have become his protege, almost like the child he never had. Dwarves, especially those in the jewelry trade will have heard of your apprenticeship and are more likely to be friendly and courteous. You can get lodging for free or discounted at Dwarven establishments. If you go into a Dwarven city, they likely would trust you as one of their own.
