More or less pretty much but sadly, psychomancy is not my blood and not sure what Lucius has I store for you. Not to forget Elite, while your magic is less combat tied compared to others, Ssarak will still be expected to fight as mission both provide a revenue to the school and help build magic through practice.

Indeed. He is still a warrior by trade, and his magic does have some combat applications. Still, if he had the choice on a mission to start a fight with a group of bandits (or something), or manipulate the mind of their leader to make them surrender (once he is more experienced, of course), he would chose the latter. Who knows, there are all kinds of situations I could imagine where manipulation and trickery could provide alternatives to fighting. It would all depend on the nature of the mission. I think that goes along well with Ssarak's theme of being a regretful warrior. For the moment, though, he keeps himself well practiced and in shape, as his best means of defense is through his fighting skill.
