To those who think Mages are so cool...

...name me some famous mages/wizards/sorcerors/whatever.
Go on; name just ONE heroic spell abusing folklore hero.

You can't can you ? Don't even bother with that Gandalf nonsense, because as I stated elsewhere this loser casts just ONE spell in the three LOTR films, and even then that spell is Holy Light - something used by noble Paladins; rest of the time this nub used his sword.

Even in UO, the most notorious mages use weapons. Yes WEAPONS.
People like Zole, Zim Zum and all the rest - they abuse items that were meant to be used by valiant warriors. See that Warfork used by the evil conjuror Duririn ? Yes ? that my friends is something designed for a fighter to use. It was intended to be used by a muscular young men with biceps the size of melons and pulsating pectorals that would make any young maiden swoon. What it was NOT intended for was to be held aloft by a practioner of the arcane arts.

You see, the mages in UO realised a long time ago that magery truly is for wimps, and that they need to augment their pathetic inabilities by turning to weapons and in essence becoming quasi-warriors.
I mean, how often have you seen HE MAN smiting his enemies with fireballs ? When was the last time LION O put aside his Sword of Omens in favour of a quick bolt of lightning ?

Oh wait you say - what about wrestle mages ? - well I say to you why do these cowardly wimps need to use a SHIELD ? huh ? yes a shield - that device intended to be used by titanic legends to block blows fro mtheir opponents. Realistically, a wimpy wizard could barely hold a shield using both hands and his feet....

The true mighty heroic icons that we all worship include the likes of
Xena Warrior Princess
Conan The Barbarian
Lion O
He Man
King Arthur
St George
Power Rangers
Flash Gordon
Action Man
Highlander
William Wallace/Braveheart

In fact, remember the ultimate evil person ever - Sauron ?
He was a friggin MACER for f**ks sake. Remember how in the beginning of LOTR he strides out solo to face the massive gank alliance of Elves and Humans ? There he is wearing elite plate armour and wielding his mighty WAR MACE that is btter than artifakt bettr than bonecrusher buy now 5m!!111
Yah, Sauron was a warrior.

So go on all you people who think mages are so bloody cool.
Tell me why this should be when historically, there isn't a single iconic wizard type person around. No one remembers any magicians at all, yet everyone remembers all the famous mighty heroic warriors.

Name me one outstanding practioner of magic that stands out as a hero or major villain.

rofls!!

Willow(buffy) is a witch and I'd like to slip her my sausage, can she count as a famous magician?

Orco from He-man could do magic too, fair enough he sucked big time but he was magical none the less!

oohh how about Mumrah from Thundercats, again a cartoon char but based on a real life flying transmutating bat from Southend (edna is her name), he rocked hard and I reckon he had his wicked way with cheetara, thats why he grins and laughs a lot.

That says it all. Harry Potter would kick Conan's butt any day.

Though it has to be said that Conan seems to be better of when it comes to women. I've yet to see Harry Potter save a hot babe with mighty boobs. but on the other hand that might be asking for too much, harry is after all most likely still a virgin.
