I dont like Magic... it influnces bad RP... such as
"If you dont give it to me I'll freeze you and then make your legs burn off".
That came from the mouth of a Mage... and so therefore this goes to the magi people...
Think of Magic like the Force from Star Wars... In Episode 4... you dont see Luke killing everyone with his powers... he cant raise an X-Wing from the swamps... he cant do ANYTHING because he is a Pawadan. He is ill trained and therefore he has no powers...
But Yoda has used for the force for like 500 years... or more. And therefore he can raise the X-Wing up and he can kill people with the force...
So therefore if you are a Mage... you cant do ANYTHING... the most that you could possibly do is make a single snowflake appear... or a small flame. Later on in the ranks you will obtain more training and therefore more powers. While Archmages/former Archmages can do amazing powers... far more then any Wizard/What-ever could ever have.
And second thing is that the mages always have this magical powerful birth... like they were born as the most powerful person ever. It is bad RPing and less fun... making yourself a diety isn't fun for others. My RP story starts off when my father dies in the Dustari-Zormite War... and my mother dies giving birth to Axel... Then me and Axel live in the sewers and SLOWLY gain respect and money. My story doesn't make me a huge powerful person... it makes me a reject and a very poor person, I came back into Dustari as a poor Herbist and not a god-like figure.
