Hmm. How shall I put this so that it's not deleted...

I disliked Valsurias. With two characters. You already know one. You were cocky and taunting, always looking to pick a fight, then were a gloating victor. Seemed like questionable role-play for a goodie, even a maran. You also ganged mercilessly while complaining about how nobody would fight you solo.

For what it's worth, Phaistus also got on my nerves.

Anyway, just one man's opinion. I feel your pain about shaman mana. And spell duration, for that matter.
