There's no greater manipulator of arcane energies than a seasoned Archmage. An apprentice, while
effective, is much like a cudgel. They learn basic forms of dispelling other's magics while honing their
own ability to learn and tune their own magics. A journeyman in comparison is leagues ahead, no longer
so concerned with their own arcane art, but how best to break, manipulate, or outright usurp others'
magics. Archmages have earned their fearsome reputations and pity to the one who decides to test it.
