The mind mages of Magic: The Gathering, when able to gather enough mana, could easily obliterate their foe, leaving nothing but tiny particles. Have you seen what Jean did to Professor X in X-Men 3? MtG mind mages are capable of that, too.
Sure, but in their world everything is just classed as magic, whether its the pheonix's ability to dissapear in fire, the wandless magic of house elves, both of whom can get around the wizards ban on disapparating in Hogwarts (even Dumbledore needs fawke's aid in getting out of Hogwarts), the mostly unexplored magic of the goblins, the dementers soul kiss etc.
The wizards don't seem to ever draw from external sources like the weave, but their own internal power source, so are they doing magic or psionics, or something that can't be defined by Realmsian terms?
Anyways aren't psionic abilites and magical spells transparent to each other (at least since 3rd edition), so there shouldn't be any big problem with countering it as long as the potter wizards have similar type of spell. We have seen that spells like protego can have different effects than expected, we never knew it could defend against mental magic rather than just energy based spells until it did. So I don't see any reason why they should have further difficulty with psionics or divine magic. |

Nah. He thinks like the Imaskarans---that they're greater than the gods. |

I still find it hard to imagine that Voldermort would bow to anyone---even if that anyone is a god. He thinks all Muggles must die, and that all the Wizarding World must bow before him. Someone that conceited would worship no one but himself alone. |

| Im thinking of starting a char whose main class is wizard, but over time i hope to multiclass in archmage, however will be looking towards taking cleric or psionicist and its prc mystic theurge or cerebremancer. Quick question, which will be better wiz/cleric, wiz/psion or wiz/cleric/psion?? |

| Also this has nothing to do with the topic, none of them would be good because you would be weak in a few spellcasting classes instead of beeing strong in one. |

| Really?? now im more inclined to wiz/psion cos there is nothing that cleric can do that wizards cant. i mean given enough time and resources(nether scrolls for example) even wiz can learn to heal and rez besides the obvious abilities that being a wizard grants. |

A multi classed character would have more versitility(sp). Yet while everybody else is using 9th level spells, they would have only 7th or 8th level spells. Cleric is no slouch. Bigger hit die, better fort save, full plate, better base attack. That is without spells. Can't be dispelled...
Unless they are really epic, then they are just really epic. |

If Dumbledore is Elminster, who is Harry? Aeron Merrith? It seems like FR does not have a world-renowned young human wizard other than Aeron. |

The Realms also lacks the world-renowned evil wizard feared by 99% of the populace, who came close to taking over everything before his mysterious demise. |

It does not lack world-renowned evil wizards. It's full of them. But the populace don't show obvious fear because they know those evil, megalomaniac wizards would keep to themselves more or less, and would not foolishly and blatantly attempt to conquer the world, least they make themselves targets of the others. The HP world only has ONE Voldemort, while FR has countless. |

| I doubt that anyone on the sowrd coast fears Szass Tam or that many of the common folk even know of him despite that he is one of the greates villians in FR. Same goes for the other major villians, they are known and feared in their part of the world but no one is feared everywhere. |

| Thats because for every one part in faerun there is at least a few major villains, liches, vampires, demon worshiping cults not to mention the faiths of evil deities. im quite amazed that realmsfolk are not jaded by all the magic and evil.... |

They showed the part when Mrs. Weaseley was about to kill Bellatrix. If I remember it right, in the novel, she said something like, "Die, you bitch!"
I didn't see the giant spiders. Perhaps the director got rid of them. |

lol maybe they were too scary haha, but this raises the question whether they will do a dnd movie(will not acknowledge the existence of the first 2 movies) i mean maybe its gonna happen and if it does i do hope they get ian mckellen to act or at least voice someone like szass tam.
he can pull it off and probably patrick stewart for khelben arunsun, lol maybe angelina jolie for the simbul |

Xar,
The Dementors are far more scary than the giant spiders...Oh, I take that back. Bellatrix is! 
It's a movie like this that so makes me want to see the Realms on the Big Screen! |
