No rush, [@Oni_]! Real life always comes first, haha.

Hm, it could be a possibility, [@Kronshi]. Want to elaborate a little? Wrapping oneself in a cloak of flames would be possible, so I can't see why a weapon would be any more difficult, though keep in mind the armour restrictions and casting process when it comes to casting spells in this game. As for the arachs and their defenses, the group likely won't be running into a ton of them, so when it comes to fights, it'll be against monsters/people more often than arachs. The arachs would be more on the level of a boss fight, for lack of a better term.

Gotcha, [@ELGainsborough]. I totally get where you're coming from - it took me almost a week to finally be satisfied with the first OOC post here, after all. All the best with it! My offer is still open, if you need any pointers for fitting the character into the lore.
