I think that the idea of a mystic who (for story reasons) *must* use their
powers is quite interesting. Like the dragon-newts who sacrifice their
progression for the good of their kind. Some mystics would reject this ("you
have no kind, that is an illusion") but a character that mortgages their
hard-won spiritual enlightenment in order to achieve a goal they haven't
managed to transcend is a cool character in my mind! Your major Flaw would
probably be something like "Attachment To This World Of Illusion" or
something, which opposes the very powers you are using to achieve your
material objectives.
These Old Wind chaps seem interesting; what are they on about? (Or is that a
"Buy Sartar:KoH" question?)
Are they anything to do with Tarumath-like practices? (Oh gosh I hope so...)
