[QUOTE="Someone, post: 5751626, member: 5656"] Long story short, I’m planning to create a new character, a mage enchanter and illusionist with lots of forced movement powers and the usual “make the enemy attack his allies” and action denial spells, preferably zones and walls where to push enemies into. I’d like advice on a couple things; First, general advice on how to build him.
