It seems we have a consensus. Now, on to talents. As a human, we roll two talents randomly, which I will do on this post. However, we have career talents to choose as well.
[]Hedge Magic or []Keen Senses
[]Luck or []Petty Magic (Hedge)

The Hedge Magic talent would only be needed if we hadn't taken a Speak Arcane Language skill. And Keen Senses is incredibly good value for a starting character, arguably even better than Fearless.

Speaking of, there seems to be a discrepancy in my books. ToC Seer career is different from Career Compendium Seer career. I was wondering why Career Compendium doesn't have a Magic advance for a spellcaster. I'll be using ToC Seer for the future.

The Hedge Magic talent's not going to be of any use, though. It allows you to try to cast spells even if you don't have a Speak Arcane Language skill trained, in exchange for an extra d10 that only counts for Tzeentch's Curse. But we already have Speak Arcane Language(Magic).
If it was useless, why would it be an option?

The penalty is only applied if we don't know any Arcane Language. Since we do, we can cast Hedge Magic without that extra die. The main advantage is that it gives us a few extra simple spells that we can always use.
Then that is very good for me.
Extra reliable spells are always useful.

Uh, no? Petty Magic(Hedge) is the Talent that actually gives us spells to cast, not the Hedge Magic talent:
"You are a self-taught spellcaster who has figured out how to work magic by trial and error. You can cast Petty Magic (Hedge) spells only without having the Speak Arcane Language skill; the Petty Magic (Hedge) talent is still required. You must roll an extra d10 when casting a spell. This does not add into your Casting Roll, but does count for the purposes of Tzeentch's Curse. Once you learn an Arcane Language, you no longer have to roll the extra die." - page 98 of the core rulebook.
If we have a Speak Arcane Language skill trained, this talent does literally nothing beneficial.
Because getting a Speak Arcane Language skill in this Career is an option, one we voted on in a previous step of character creation. Hedge Magic would be useful if we'd taken the Blather skill instead.

Alright, now we need one last thing: Who the hell are we? I need a name, gender, age, etc for our char. Please write-in a plan. I'm also rolling our starting money and have spent our free advance on getting our first magic point.
