The master of magic and steward of the spellweave, Wrywall rules the ordered side of the Praefell Rift. He is an all-knowing god of magic, who encourages his followers to learn all they can and live good lives.

Wrywall is depicted as an elderly man with a long, grey beard and long hair. He is wearing fine robes and a very large wizard hat. He soars through the air on a small lounging chair and wields a staff carved from red wood.

Wrywall's closest ally is the god Prism. He also maintains a very good relationship with Titania and Oberon from the Fairy Kingdoms.

Wrywall has a neutral counterpart in Old Ruck, the god maintaining the Chaotic side of the rift. His relationship with her is not one of animosity, but he is annoyed that she seems slack on preventing her side of the rift from spilling over to his.

Wrywall was once an ally of Betelgeuse and his brother Ugsyn, but after the calamity of the Dark Twins, he directly opposes their newly adopted dogmas - especially those of Betelgeuse.

Wrywall's most hated nemesis is Beep. He will never admit this. Ever since Beep realized her divine powers, the two have been bitter enemies, and her ability to annoy and evade Wrywall is a point of great embarrassment for him. Very few of his followers choose to recognize this conflict with Beep, and those who do often do not consider her a god at all.

Beep and her ilk refer to Wrywall as “The Wizzey Man”, a pejorative nickname used to torment Wrywall and his followers.

Wrywall rules the Ordered side of the Praefell rift, keeping chaos at bay and allowing his followers to learn magic at their leisure in The Grand Library of the Weave.

He maintains strict guard over the Arcadia Well, which resided in the Library; mortals have a very difficult time passing through the well without his express permission.

Wrywall teaches his followers to spend their mortal lives learning all they can, and passing that knowledge onto the next generation. He teaches that the act of learning and the act of teaching can be one in the same, and encourages his followers to try and spread magic to the average person.

Wrywall insists that knowledge is a powerful tool with which to maintain the structure of society. He believes in using well informed magical aptitude and philosophy to maintain order. He actively discourages his followers to use it for violence unless absolutely necessary, and that some experimentation in better left to theoretical pondering. Magic is a delicate yet dangerous force, and must be approached with respect and responsibility.

The fundamental holy text of Wrywall. This is a very dense text book, detailing the advanced magical methods wrywall wishes to impart on mortal minds. It doubles as an account of his history, and contains much of his dogma. The technical lessons are intertwined with his ethical ones. It's content is only accessible to the sharpest minds.

Due to the advanced nature of his fundamental text, worshippers of Wrywall have interpreted his teachings and recontextualized them into a text book which is much easier to read and comprehend. This was in the hopes of broadening their reach, and making his teaching accessible to all. Mageika Nkimouar II is by no means an easy read, but it serves as an intermediate magical guide, and Wrywall's dogmatic teachings have been successfully separated from the theory enough that most people can grasp it.

Similar to Mageika Nkimouar II, the third installment of Wrywall's texts serves more as a beginner's guide to magic. The theory has been drastically reduced, leaving mostly just the dogmatic teachings. While none of Wrywall's texts are explicitly targeted towards any age group, this is a text book often assigned to children or young adults who are interested in learning about magic.

The fourth and final (and by far the shortest) installment of the Mageika Nkimouar. Often just called “The Magic Book”. This is a book stripped of all theory, leaving just Wrywall's history and teachings which have been re-written to use simpler language, and are accompanied by lots of colourful pictures. The fourth volume, which is intended for all ages, is often criticized for insulting the intelligence of it's adult audience while also being far too complex for the very young children it seems to be aimed towards. It has done much to add to the elitist and patronizing reputation of Wrywall's church.

The most devout worshippers of Wrywall are almost all Wizards.

In the Praefell rift, his worshippers live with him in The Grand Library of the Weave. The residents of this city-sized Library are almost universally some sort of spellcaster.

In Arcadia, Wrywall's devout followers are more varied. While many are high-ranking spellcasters in various institutions, many more common people make the attempt to learn from his church.

Wrywall is actively worshipped by the Church of Formation.
