I always have some major function which necessitates a tower, and then everything is built around that. Examples:
>Telvan the Lensegrinder has a golem which stokes the furnace and helps him make the massive lenses for his archoscopes.
>Mistress Silia of the Bermfens has a kennel of bloodless hounds she uses to hunt for pixies and keep her company.
>Dolor the Mad has an aviary where he stores his victims after he steals their forms, and a theater under his tower where he makes them dance and act out his twisted art.
Nobody gets into magic because they're into normal shit. Figure out what your dude's bag is and the rest will follow.
