That's stupid if you can't hit shit with it

Alrighty, sorry I didn't get to you sooner. Anyways, Jerk I completely get what you're saying, and it calls back to an argument that is much older than this rp: What good is power if it isn't able to effect anything practically. The answer is that it's not. This is why I gave Red Magicians an explosive power. See, the armor is more for defense than offense. The real power of the ability comes in the form of it's mixture of that defense and it's ability to deal damage without making physical contact. Think about it. Although you're slower, as long as the enemy is close enough, couldn't you just launch an explosion? Most normal people wouldn't be able to out run something that's that sudden and uniquely ranged. Even still, a person who focuses on training their body could make up for the fact that their speed is lower than the other two. It's more about the user than the ability. Keep in mind though, we're not talking like, Treebeard level lethargy. You're slower than other magic users, but that doesn't have to mean super slow, it's all relative to the user. In reality the buffs and debuffs are only there to give a little bit of a leg up to certain magics when going up against others, so don't read into it too much. Hope this helps.
