[Cthulhudrew]

Who is the greatest Thieves World mage?

Lythande was pretty powerful, wasn't she?

The greatest mage in the Black Company?

I think I'd have to side with you on Dominator.

 

[fett527]

The greatest mage in the Black Company?

Goblin.

 

[Nightfall]

Lythande was pretty powerful but I always felt Enas Yorl could have taken her in a spell battle.

*would prefer a few more Thieves world comments...*

Goblin?! Nah. I'll grant you he's the most powerful of the Black Company regulars, but not the best spellcaster/mage.

 

[KaosDevice]

I've got to go with Enas Yorl. It seemed like there was pretty much nothing he couldn't do aside from lift the curse on himself.

 

[Maxwell's Demon]

It's been a while, but wasn't Enas Yorl described somewhere in the firt book as the third mosy powerful wizard in the world? Or something like that?

 

[John Q. Mayhem]

The Dominator, hands down

 

[drothgery]

Bomanz seems to be about as good as you can get while staying mostly sane and avoiding dips into Pure Evil land...

 

[Crothian]

For Thieves World I'm going with the Wizard who cursed Enas Yorl.

 

[Endur]

Who is the greatest Thieves World mage? Roxane. Style and Witchcraft and Obsession.

The greatest mage in the Black Company? The Lady. Charm. The Tower.
