[quote=@Lugubrious] Also, tell me this: how does one person have a ridiculously powerful combat magic, illusion magic, invisibility, complete magic detection, and telepathy? Doesn't that strike anyone as flawless/ludicrous? [/quote] Not having looked at Ferrin's profile I can tell that his stuff is less superpowers and more conventional magic. More freestyle spells/manipulation of energy. And the power level thing really has more to do with the mage's internal supply of power and how much he uses in one go. As I believe it said in the post a very large amount of Ferrin's power was used to make that fireball. [quote=@Crimson Raven] Give this man a cookie! Yeah, Dresden files is one of my favorite book series, and Ferrin is a little me, a little Harry, and a little invented. (And yes, [@Lugubrious] A tiny bit of a self-insert.) [/quote] I twigged to it almost as soon as I saw him. Been trying to find a spot to bring it up since. Also if it helps, think of Lux as a twenty year younger and slightly more hot blooded version of Michael.
