Instead of passive aggressively calling out magic in an ironically convoluted status post, I recommend that you go to each individual lore submission and comment your criticisms. Otherwise please do not fall victim to the very flaws that you are calling out in this hypocritical statement. 

@ZythusRequiem People should be able to tell by themselves what’s exactly overpowered or not. Its not like anyone wants to go over all existing magic lore, read bit by bit and write an entire essay about it like some badass philosopher would. This is the ST’s job, a staff team that is supposed to dedicate themselves to this task. Even then, specially as a normal player, his word would weigh less and he’d likely be met with arguments from almost every lore submission. This criteria should fall not exactly to him but instead the people that are supposed to read and accept each piece of lore and try to make it as reasonable as possible and realise that magics shouldn’t exist to do a 1v10 but instead a buffer to improve the roleplay scenario.

I remember when my friends jumped this popular power gaming ex-administrator mage guy that instantly casted runes around him and became invulnerable to attacks and could just about hit anyone close to him with powerful magic. My friends became cocky with these stupid super powers because no one is an anime protagonist where you can kill everyone else and they called me over just so we could get the 10 people to force a PvP countdown.

Before wanting to screw with magic users even more than they are, why not look at the expectations of lore to be overtly explained completely and the forced rewrites? It’s not the lore writers, it’s the bloody goal posts that are the problem.
