Once Zormite gets that new ministry I'm waiting for, you'll be seeing some of my own RP stories. And they'll probably be less disturbing than Myukoi's. Not that his stories are really disturbing, barely, really.

But, on topic, yeah, I agree with the people that said you should really put all the chapters in order.

But, Satrek, magic is magic, only GK and MMORPGs make it seem like something special. A truly powerful mage would not require a staff of any kind, and he wouldn't be limited to a list of spells. I like Steven Brust's idea of magic. You link to the Imperial Orb, you draw upon the energy, shape it, and hurl it. And his idea of witchcraft is perfect, too. A long, emotional, focused ritual involving runes, herbs, minerals, and all that sort to one main goal. In general, a good mage can do whatever he wishes with magic, from raising a mountain to fixing his hair.
