@HeyeBodo@rollenspiel.social I played one of these magic-users briefly in a game. He ended up using a dagger frequently (the "flying dagger" fighting technique, I think we joked about it).
I suppose if someone thinks their magic-user is only useful when they can solve 'problems' with spells it would be unsatisfying, but I had fun with him. His memory after he died made him into a larger than life figure for a time, and I was pretty satisfied with that.
