That character is -significantly- stronger than mine.
Samuel ‘The Icy Death’
Gender: Male
Age: 36
Race: Breton
Height: 5ft 11”
Weight: 82kg
Build: Athletic
Equipment: Simple mage robes, designed to serve all the practical purposes of clothing without restricting movement in anyway, though its simply cloth and therefore useless for stopping physical damage. Minor enchantments on the armour make the user significantly resistant to cold, and give them minor resistances to other forms of magic.
One restoration potion in a satchel which restores twenty mana and heals light wounds + restores stamina.
Magic: Ice Mage
Samuel focused his magical education on Ice destruction magic during his time at the academy, and became infatuated with the power it gave him. Though he knows a few minor spells in other schools his main talent has always lay with the more powerful frost magics.
Spell list
10 mana + 5 for every sustained post
Icy Wave: The simplest and most slow-effecting spell, the Icy Wave is cast by drawing one’s hand close to their heart and bringing mana into the palm. Though not necessary, some choose to use a word related to the spell to then unleash it, forcing a wave of ice from their hand at roughly five feet per second up to twenty feet maximum range. By continuous siphoning of mana to the hand this spell can actually be continued, resulting in a continuous stream of Ice. Not quite powerful enough to instantly freeze anything it touches, it none-the-less causes slowing in a target and severe frost-bite, prolonged exposure causes freezing and death.
15 mana
Icy Blast: A more powerful version of Icy Wave, with a similar process except for the requirement of five seconds to the heart to draw mana, the Ice is then unleashed in a ball which flies at twenty feet per second and splashes out with a paralysing cold effect. Rarely deadly, but incredibly painful and debilitating.
15 mana
Ice Blade: Similar in all forms to the Icy Blast, except a blade of ice is formed in the hand which can be launched like a lethal projectile at the speed of a flying arrow.
10 mana + 5 for every post in use (also works as charge)
Ice Shield: Simply put, this allows the user to turn the Icy Wave into an Icy Shield instead, quick to cast but requires a constant mana siphoning in order to protect the user from any similarly sustained attack.
15 mana +5 for every extra ring
Ice Rune: A trap spell which places an invisible blue rune on any surface, after five seconds it activates, and anyone except Samuel within five meters of it is subjected to a blast of icy frost akin to the Frost Blast spell in a circular radius of effect. Each addition ring increases the range by five meters, and the effects increase proportionally.
40 mana
Frost Atronauch: Samuel can summon a frost Atronauch (a large golem made of ice) for a short period of time (roughly four rounds of posting.) This Atronauch can fight with immense physical strength and also chills anything it touches.
5 mana on entering an arena, lowers the temperature of the area by 5 degrees f every post (of mine) at a cost of a further 5 mana every two posts.
The Creeping Cold: One of Samuel’s two signature attacks, the Creeping Cold is a spell usually cast upon entering battle with a sufficiently dangerous foe. Requiring a small, sustainable supply of mana at first, it eventually grows into a powerful freezing aura which causes a wide area (roughly 100 meters around Samuel) to become icy cold, and eventually somewhere between -50 and -100 degrees, more than enough to kill most people.
25 mana
Grasp of Death: Samuel’s most formidable ability, should he place a hand upon a foe he can cast this ability instantaneously, causing a freezing effect from his hand outwards and instantly dropping the affected area to freezing temperatures, sustained contact of up to five seconds is deadly, and even the slightest touch can cause numbing or paralysis.
Frozen World: Once the temperature falls below 0, Samuel's powers become incredibly more powerful, with their effects doubled for the same mana cost. He also gains an innate knowledge of his surroundings, due to his affinity with the cold around him.
Other spells
10 mana
Turn Undead: Simply causes undead to flee, or become significantly damaged.
10 mana
Minor Heal: Allows the user to heal from light wounds at the cost of mana.
Negligible mana cost, possibly five mana every five posts.
Mage Light: Very small mana siphoning allows a light to be generated in the mage’s hand.
5 mana for every ten meters fallen.
Feather Weight: Allows the user to reduce their weight and survive significant falls, though costly in mana from higher falls.
5 mana every post
Water breathing: Breath under water for sustained time periods.
5 mana (X the severity)
Dispel: Simple spell which negates magical effects, though it requires significantly more mana if the effect is comparatively powerful.
10 mana
Arcane Bolt: Simple raw mana blast, launched in a similar fashion to the Ice blade, but with less potential to be elementally resisted. This is Samuel's only real offensive capability against foes resistant to frost.
Racial Ability: Breton's have an innate control over magic, more so than any other human race. Once per day, recharging at exactly midnight, a Breton may activate the Dragon Skin, a powerful magical enchantment which causes them to absorb 50% of all mana cast upon them for thirty seconds, while also making them incredibly resistant to all forms of harm.

That does bring up the point on how that will/should effect preps, should each prep for the same spell be paid for every charge used in it?Like a normally 10 point spell costing 20 points due to being prepped for two post. Or maybe cost an extra 5 points only? Or maybe only cost two and a half more.
I think the spells and their costs should reflect the power of the spell, so preps are unnecessary.
Let's face it, the reason why preps have to exist is because no one uses mana pools, or lets their characters get tired.
Mana pool is somewhat essential IMO
How about 100 mana, +5 every round of posting?

Alright, I'll fight with Skyrim esque magic.
I'll make a character for it.

Standard duel of mages, like classic magic vs magic, without heavy armor or guns and such. I might set up a thread. I was meaning to introduce one here but never got to it.
Sounds good to me.

You know what I have never really got to do?Had an actuarial magic duel, still want to try that one day.
Standard mage duel? I'd be up for that.

Also I'm not sure why everyone wants to get up close to or sneak up to a jedi or Sith, when a gun is largely a ranged weapon. Snip that foo form half a mile away, once he hears the sound of the bullet firing he is already dead.
Except force users tend to be able to sense threats upon their person regardless of range.

Death star is sci-fi, like super technobabble. It should be more powers rather then magic really.
To do what it would do would require it to eat mount everest in energy.

Argument? This is a theoretical situation, albeit a very specific one.It could also be a droid, correct me if I'm mistaken, but droids can't be detected right?
They have some inherent resistances to the force, but obviously they can still be detected, as the specific scene in the films where Luke is mastering his powers shows him blocking lazers from a droid training ball thing.
