Hoo, boy...archmages from Mage are stupidly powerful. Forces 7 - MOVE. FUCKING. CONTINENTS. *****! Don't let me start on Examplars.Bete Noire said:Oh, I'd like to see a few of the (2nd Edition) Mage: the Ascension characters dropping by the Harry Dresden-verse and teach him what real "wizards" are -- Mages.
Would be particularly funny to see him face Porthos Fitz-Empress, a (very insane) archmage of House Flambeau of the Order of Hermes: "I'm sorry, "Fuego"? How would you like to see what an orbital strike looks like from up close? Or maybe get teleported into the Sahara desert? Or try casting spells while Friction Cursed?"
And while we're at it, I'd like to see Malkav dropping by the Twilight universe and Ignoring ALL of them.
In the Dresden files, as powerful as the guys there are, they don't seem to be far above adepts. The most notable one are probably masters in more than one spheres (the Gatekeeper, the Merlin, for example) but for the most part, wizards seem to be somewhere between disciple and adept level, albeit with good grasp on more than one Sphere. Sorcerers in the Dresdenvese, however, seem more capable than the sorcerers in Mage. Well, for the most part, at least - those with magical minor talents would be roughly like the WoD sorcerers, while the actual Dresden sorcerers (say, Kravos) would be, like, disciple-level, maybe even adept but in a single sphere, at most having a bit of knowldge in one-two more. So the Dresden sorcerers are roughly equivalent to a starting Mage characters but with slightly higher Arete - 3 or 4, however, somewhere around and 3-6 dots in Spheres.
But I'd actually like to see either someone from TDF of from Mage (either, in fact) drop by in Harry Potter. It would be particularly amusing to see a Virtual Adept handle Voldy:
Voldemort: AVADA KE-*continues to only move his lips but nothing happens*
VA: *giggling* You like my new sound control app?
Alternatively, the Technocracy.
Voldemort: Avada kedavra!
HIT Mark V: RD signature detected. Analysing.
Voldemort: AVADA KEDAVRA!
HIT Mark V: Confirmed - identified - matching protocol 13446. Threat level: critical. Enforcing shockwave contingency.
As for Malkav - why ignore them? I recall there was this chick vampire who was prime Malkavian material - she had visions and such (yeah, I saw the first Twilight movie...), Malkav could just drop by and bless her with a gift. Then derange each and everybody in the series one by one. But what would actually be more entertaining - [Tzimisce]. That's it - I want to watch them suffer horribly.
