Cailet
Cailet is an Epicurean apprentice in the wizardry. She may have been initially elevated to the staff in July of 2014 by Valyn and Cylis (disputed; see the section for Kizayaen-Cailet Controversy) for her latent psychic code powers and cheerfully murderous disposition. Or murderously cheerful disposition. It's sometimes tough to tell the difference.

Realmheals
Cailet has two realmheals, the latter of which she refers to as a "flareheal" as it sends up a flare from the room of every player which it heals:
A qualified, board-certified mental healthwiz has healed the realm. With rockets. EXPLOSIONS OF LIFE. A slight floral trace of fresh lavender mixes oddly with the sharp residual odor of explosive.
A colorful flare shoots high into the sky above A Large Cave before exploding into thousands of glittering sparks, which slowly fade as they arc back down to the ground. A colorful flare shoots high into the sky above Starkeep Grand Hall before exploding into thousands of glittering sparks, which slowly fade as they arc back down to the ground. A colorful flare shoots high into the sky above Dark Cave Eastern Passage before exploding into thousands of glittering sparks, which slowly fade as they arc back down to the ground. A colorful flare shoots high into the sky above The Royal Counting House of Astaria before exploding into thousands of glittering sparks, which slowly fade as they arc back down to the ground. A colorful flare shoots high into the sky above Vestachelon Cemetery before exploding into thousands of glittering sparks, which slowly fade as they arc back down to the ground. A colorful flare shoots high into the sky above Eerie Clearing before exploding into thousands of glittering sparks, which slowly fade as they arc back down to the ground. A cheerfully murderous wizard and her limitless bag of rockets have healed the realm.
Kizayaen-Cailet Controversy (disputed)
As best as we can tell from the aftermath, in July of 2014, Kizayaen apparently became bored by the fact that there haven't been enough players on Astaria to start a good drama in like five years, and decided to do something about the fact.
What we do know is that a new apprentice wizard named Cailet was hired, apparently going through none of the usual hiring process and serving no apprentice period, but was elevated to the rank of Elder immediately upon creation. (Despite this, she's listed as an apprentice on the staff list. This may be a way of having extra access/file permissions granted, and may or may not indicate actual wizard status.) VERY shortly afterward, that same night, Kizayaen was deleted.
Rumour suggests that Cailet is that most heinous of historical wizards, a girlfriend who got into the staff based upon her relationship with a high-ranking existing wizard. Kizayaen has also been pretty vocal at times about being the only wizard on staff against his will, and about his alleged misdeeds attempting to get fired. (See his profile page for additional detail describing his being forcefully wizzed under threat of physical violence.)

Plans
Here the repellent harpies make their nests, Who drove the Trojans from the Strophades With dire announcements of the coming woe. They have broad wings, a human neck and face, Clawed feet and swollen, feathered bellies; they caw Their lamentations in the eerie trees. - Dante Alighieri Divina Commedia I, Inferno
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Not because this will get you into Heaven or keep you out of Hell; not due to your gratitude for the undeserved grace of God; not because you love Jesus, who asks this of you, or because you're trying to follow his model of the best of humanity; not because of the law and the prophets or because of some Kantian or Rawlsian imperative or some utilitarian calculus. Simply follow the Golden Rule because it will protect you from becoming a gaping asshole.
If being gay is a sin, then I'm going straight... ... ... to hell, and flirting with every cute girl on the way.
You catch the snipe with a net spread up in the forest canopy. Take it alive. Take it home. Poke out its eyes and put it in a small cage. Force-feed it oats and millet and figs until it has swollen to four times its normal size. Drown it in brandy. Roast it whole, in an oven at high heat, for six to eight minutes. Bring it to the table. Place a cloth -- a napkin will do -- over your head to hide your cruelty from the sight of God. Put the whole bird into your mouth, with only the beak protruding from your lips. Bite. Put the beak on your plate and begin chewing, gently. You will taste three things: First, the sweetness of the flesh and fat. This is God. Then, the bitterness of the guts will begin to overwhelm you. This is the suffering of Jesus. Finally, as your teeth break the small, delicate bones and they begin to lacerate your gums, you will taste the salt of your own blood, mingling with the richness of the fat and the bitterness of the organs. This is the Holy Spirit, the mystery of the Trinity: three united as one. It is cruel. And beautiful.
... Any resemblance between the above views and those of my employer, my terminal, or the view out my window are purely coincidental. Any resemblance between the above and my own views is non-deterministic. The question of the existence of views in the absence of anyone to hold them is left as an exercise for the reader. The question of the existence of the reader is left as an exercise for the second god coefficient. (A discussion of non-orthogonal, non-integral polytheism is beyond the scope of this article.)
I am a part of the vast wizard conspiracy against you.
