The title of master is not necessary, we are equals. Mr. bean with his magical talents AND martial ability is the best target, it may take us both to defeat him.

Ha I also am a mage, and of course I choose my favourite type of mage, Wild Mage. See my amazing 60 foot Fireball, scream in terror from the anvil, and just wait I have a chance of getting that ancient Red Wyrm to fall Head over heals in love with me... (Wild mages Second ed, my Favourite type of mage...) So anyone want a Wild Mage for their alliance, actually I think I'll go it alone my alignment is always Chaotic Good, you lot are a little to evil for my tastes...

Re: Thought Experiment: Magic appears
Well, if "magic" appeared in the world, and it is as limited as you say, then it depends on whether anybody with any significant power appears at that time. If everybody who has magic talent starts out at the ground floor, then chances are they'll either wind up dead, or will never realize what they have. For the average person, it probably won't mean jack.SirNitram wrote:Just an idea to roll around in everyone's head. What would happen if tomorrow the dread power known as 'magic' reappeared in the world? Would we see witch hunts? Nations trying to raise armies of people who can control this power? Widespread panic? Talk of the apocalypse?
As far as power of it goes, consider it equal to AD&D's stance: With a highly intelligent person and some training, you can make simple effects, but truly epic power comes from decades of dedicated training.

psi would be most dangerous because you can get powerfull effects
much faster compared to arcane or divine casters.

I am well aware of that little rule....I have already ammassed a vast spellbook, and have been practicing. So what section of the world do you want to carve up?Never, ever point the wand at a wall less than twenty feet from your face, or say fare-thee-well to thine eyebrows.

Bah, No Hokey Religion or Acient Magic is a match for a good Army at your side(The weakness with all casters, keep sending minon hords at them and they run out of spells and are easy to cave up)

Febreeze has worked nicely upon poor felines...and now they are growing...well something like a chia poet...that is for later experiments.
As Alyrium's wonder of what part of the world to carve up first I say Asia...it's large with many climate providing excellent test range of subjects and interesting experiments.

'Ai! ai!' wailed Legolas. 'A Balrog! A Balrog is come!'
Gimli stared with wide eyes. 'Durin's Bane!' he cried, and letting his axe fall he covered his face.
'A Balrog,' muttered Gandalf. 'Now I understand.' He faltered and leaned heavily on his staff. 'What an evil fortune! And I am already weary.'
