I'm a technical nerd. If I see any sort of set of strategies, systems, magic, fighting styles or whatever, I simply HAVE to think and argue with ways to improve and overcome weaknesses. In this case, a way to make classical wizards and mages less squishy: an activated state in which they channel magic through their bodies, greatly increasing their resistance and strength. KUNG FU WIZARDS, YAY! Results were, as you may imagine, overpowered mages. Frustrating. Well, there you go, my overpowered old wolf-kitsune fursona. And this is before I buffed up.
