Keep in mind I'm new. I was planning on losing 1 point of Essence, and therefore 1 point of Magic. This would put me at Magic 4... is that enough for Combat magic to still be deadly? If not, I can screw around and see if I can get Magic to 6(5).
Otherwise, I will be perfectly happy with any gear issued to Ammad. He would greatly appreciate a sustaining focus of some type, but if that is not something the company has the resources to provide, I understand. I'm totally fine being a fish out of water as the token wizard.
Still fiddling around with spells, though. If Slow is really only good for aiding in parachuting, I might drop it... unless we're going to be parachuting a lot. Right now, it's Stun Bolt, Toxic Wave, Increased Reflexes, Heal, Antidote, Physical Barrier and Slow. If any of these spells sound really, really stupid to you, or if you'd like to request something else, drop me a PM.
