[QUOTE="MoonSong, post: 6573288, member: 6689464"] By wizard logic I refer to the idea that everybody always is so hyperrational and always optimizing for everything, and when applied to in-game that magic is always so superior and mundane is so inferior there is no point on going with the mundane. Imagine for the sake of it that ok, the extra arms are useless for weapons, but that you could use them for many other things you can't use your normal arms for, and that training them to kill kill and kill doesn't allow you to take advantage of the other things that can be useful for you (each combat spell is a wasted chance for something truly useful). Do you really need so hard to be an effectively killer with them if you could use them for greater speed -useful to flee but also for many other ends- instead? If on top training to use a mundane mean meant you could defend as well or nearly as well? If on top both options were equally you? Maybe a gun is the most efficient mean to defend yourself -I'm not big-, but should I ruin my fragile wrists and fingers -that I need for drawing and painting- learning to shoot one? If I needed that hard to learn to defend myself I would use instead my legs to run, jump, dodge and kick. [/QUOTE]
