Basically, Eriwal played the prototypical mage who
focused solely on his magic. If I remember correctly
what Nepenthe said, he mentioned that Eriwal only
practiced one of his weapon skills. I'm not sure which
one. He didn't practice things like parry, lash, pugil.

That's the thrust of it.

Eriwal was the first of a many mages to do as you suggested.
He wasn't following a trend.. he was setting it.

        • He had the form before, so had shapeshift skill, duo, hold person. He chose to go arcane and lose his skill because he didn't care about the falcon, so he originally didn't have the limitation. n/t Someone 17:32:19 7/12/2000 (0)
