People certainly are quick when they're trouble around, even if they don't have speed-enhancing magic! Six people (Amaya, Ariel, Fleo, Felix, Karn, and Nolan, not to mention Jamie, whose 'striding forth' seems to cover half of Magnolia) against Lucas (a B-level wizard) doesn't sound like very much fun. Two people would have been more than sufficient for this sort of situation. Kinda makes me realize how starved for action we are. Is it possible to have more than one character?
