Hmmmm. I was just thinking about how disappointing I find the MC. I have yet to see a definitive difference to the fact he has future, earth or any kind of different knowledge. Last chapter he used a sword.....a Mage used a sword....yea. In my mind, any excuse or bs explanation about Mages using sword is just invalid. Now this chapter, he cast a tornado, I was impressed. Finally actual fcking magic, how it should be, but......it was not the MC. Worse, it was the prick Oliver. Look, the novel is not bad, its actually good, the problem is the extra unused potential. Having him from earth but then it doesn't affect the story in anyway.
In dragon age magic users aren't the strongest usually, they are slow and easily killed by people who focus on physical attacks, specially templars and seekers since they can pretty much deny magic, the biggest exception for this rule are Knight-Enchanters, they don't usually have or use flashy spells but their physical bodies, spells and abilities put together makes them one of the most powerful kind of mages, as such they tend to be viewed with large respect by every faction since they excel in both departments, body and magic. But they are a rare profession in this case, because they are one of the most difficult specializations to master.
