A novel interpretation and one that I've not seen anywhere before. I don't think it's true either for the hoplites or the college magicians. All that's been written is that the Lunars use their magics in unison, not that they are useless by themselves and that only in unity they can find strength. Case in point: when Argrath starts doing the same thing, do the Thunderbrothers et. al. turn into complete spazmos by themselves as a result?

Skalds? But the evidence of the RQ rules and other materials is against you.

So tell us where you can find Phalanxes in the Bronze Age?
