Monster: Kolyarut

Monster: Invisible Stalker

Monster: Invisible Stalker

Monsters: Hydras

What can sorcerers and other spellcasters do during downtime to earn money? Some spells are quite straightforward for an occupation, but some feel like they could only be used on an adventure. See Jobs (pp. B516-517) for rules on occupations and Occupations (GURPS Low-Tech Companion 3 - Daily Life and Economics, pp. 45-50) for mundane examples.
