Naming a kenku wizard
A kenku wizard carries kenku naming tradition into the wizard's calling. Kenku cannot create new sounds, so their names are mimicries — snippets of overheard speech, birdsong, clicks, and trills stitched together. A kenku name is as much a sound-effect as a word. A wizard — a scholar who bends reality through study and formula — tends toward learned, slightly formal names that suit the spine of a spellbook.
