Annie needs all the help she can get. Being able to release some open flames gives her quite an advantage, but Kestyr and Rem are Psykers, and I have a feeling the Psyker powers are much, much more powerful than pyrokinesis.

Why does she need all the help she can get, exactly?

She has a lightsaber. You said yourself she has yoda-like reflexes. In addition to this, she also has the standard force powers. Those abilities alone already make her extremely powerful. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

I'm improving on the technique I discovered.

Also, just how masterful of magic can a character be if they're a full-on wizard? How many mastered schools/disciplines? How skilled in the numerous types? Etc.

It varies from person to person. Mastering one of the four elements can take anywhere between ten to twenty years of constant practice and study. Mastering more complicated arts like nature, necromancy, or enchanting, take longer.

In terms of actual skill level, a master in their field can have the destructive power of a small army. However, casting at that level of power will burn through your mana after only a couple spells and leave you exhausted, and possibly speed up your aging. It's important to remember that you never gain more mana - you can learn to cast more for less, but a mage retains the same base pool of mana for their entire life.

Also, even after you've mastered a field you must still practice it regularly, otherwise your skill and control over it will eventually begin to diminish.

Most human mages who eat sleep and breathe magic tend to only master around three. By then, they are old men who are useless in anything other than magic. Drows and Elves can generally manage four or five by the time they become old.

I had no idea. Annie, your character can have pyrokinesis, if you wish.

...what have I done.
What if I happen to be a magical prodigy? I am Inferi.

The Force versus the Warp.

The Warp wins everytime.

And I'm just sitting here with Harambe, Captain America, and an armored Velociraptor.

Bring it on.

Then you'd be closer to ten years.

Keep in mind, you don't need to be a master in order to be good. Five to ten years of dedicated training can turn any mage into a formidable opponent. Truth be told, I really don't want to see people come in and already be the master of multiple elements. Just mastering one element puts you above most non-mages. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

I have one final question, if I may, NotFishing, Good sir. Has this merry band of mercenaries chosen to abstain from alcohol, or is this your stereotypical heavy-drinking group of armed individuals? Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy! =)

I'm not looking to be the master of a bunch of disciplines right away, more like a prodigy generalist. Learning basically all of the disciplines, jack of all trades master of none, but he plans to be master of all once he achieves immortality which will give him the time he needs to study all the magic forever.

However, to achieve his immortality he must become a master of the five elements. Really, he only requires mastery of one to be on the path, but I did say he was looking to improve on the method he discovered.

The method being Elementals. I am Inferi.

You know, if this Titanomachy thread doesn't conclude with Rodisus dragging Annie across a pit, until he has to be sniped by Rem, I will be severely disappointed.

They have no policies regarding alcohol consumption, so long as you're sober when they need you to be. As the intro indicates, some are heavy drinkers while others are more responsible.

Important to note that that's just a rumor/theory. And has penalties of its own if it's true.

But I am intrigued by the idea. By all means, continue to pursue it. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

It may only be a rumor, but even rumors have some basis in reality. Research is required, which means mastering the elements to attempt to become the King Elemental. THE AVATAR! I am Inferi.
