i had an idea for a minor talent,say you start at feet in the water,and then advance power levels for a while with your group, customizing all the while, technically, gm allowing you could make a wizard or sorceror. Starting as a minor talent could be useful, you would have a spell that no other wiz has, making you that much more powerful. You would just have to be creative untill then! just a thought, because dont most wizards start out minor talents? like molly?

I think the idea of a suffocate mage would fit better as a Focused Practitioner than Minor Talent.

And if you’re going the route of a Focused Practitioner, then you could suggest to your suffocate mage that she picked a focus on Air with an Evocation on Suffocate. That way she can still kill people at will, but she’ll still have lots of Air-related things when there’s no need for killing.

The problem with this is that with some players, when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a great big nail. Hammer it hard enough and it’ll go down.

Johnny One Spell…beware. This can be really deadly. Especially if it’s something like Suffocate, Blindness, Dehydrate, etc.

It’s great for a character you want mostly normal, but need for an ability that doesn’t fit any other character.

I personally would use a Minor Talent like, PROPHESY BOY.

Sounds nice for an Everyman game. Sometimes it’s nice to play a group of more average characters, as opposed to Awesome Scions Of Awesome Awesomeness.

hmm they would be somewhat useful if you formed small groups with helping abilities like someone that could use limited fire spells and someone who could shoot oxygenated air causing a mini explosion or huge fireballs if you will.

Should the high concept text be keyworded and explained at the beginning of the characters section or maybe in the choosing aspects/high concept section?

It seems redundant to have it mentioned in most templates.
