blackaeronaut Wrote:... Something tells me this guy ain't very well liked.Well, he's the high fantasy version of a nuclear armed B-52. You don't have to like him, just insure your country has as many of the Collegium's alumni on retainer as the others do. The fact that said alumni do very little besides hole up in their heavily fortified and warded towers or dungeons doing the stereotypical mad wizard magical research on the public's dime is something to be thankful for, and even if a few oddly mutated animals or peasants show up nearby from time to time it's a small price to pay for national security.
He's intended to be somehow transplanted out of his familiar context here, though I have no firm idea where. This originally grew out of a one-liner of someone else trying to explain it, "It's less the sort of magic where you throw little balls of fire or a lightning bolt, and more the kind where you and a dozen friends dance on the hilltop for three days and three nights while an army lays siege to the city below, and on the fourth day no more city."
