[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 9298275, member: 6796661"] The original "magic user" class has been broken into so many categories over the years, that I guess I wizards is a bookish caster. I draw inspiration from many sources. For an example of a younger, physically fit wizard, Harry Dresden comes to mind.
