Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sadras" data-source="post: 5913893" data-attributes="member: 6688277">Difficult, Dangerous, Limited and/or Slow I dont have a problem with, but generally speaking the spell-casters of story, myth or legend have an edge in a fair fight, hence we (the viewer/reader) generally support the underdog, which most of the time is a mundane. Please dont drag me into straw man diatribe.A lot of movies involve the mundane having to trick the spell caster who was too busy explaining his motives or toying with the mundane instead of finishing him/her off or the mundane using the environment/terrain to defeat the spell caster. Refer Stardust or Willow...etc Lastly, why is the villain in most fantasies a spell caster? Its because they DO have an edge. Queen Bavmorda in Willow polymorphed an ENTIRE ARMY into pigs, everyone! Including the best swordsman in the land, MadMartigan (Val Kilmer).</blockquote>
