I have a few magic character concepts I've been wanting to use, mainly element-themed, but some more abstract. For example, an ice, fire, wind, darkness, etc mage, with powers based on the directness or indirectness of the chosen element. The more abstract idea is a rune mage, who is fairly spread out in powers and effects but has to write/carve the proper symbol on things for any of his powers to work (can make triggered 'trap' effects when someone approaches the rune). Would like to use a single familiar to aid him/her, lesser powered if need be.
I'd need to be able to use voice chat/skype though, because I'm very tired of typing all my in/out-of character chat.
