[@Shadow Daedalus] I like both of them. Really. The second one even more but there are two problems with it.

1. "     Mage-Breaker:His main sword, a Long-sword enchanted with magic cancels out and destroys other magic, the anti-magic looks like teal and black flames wrapping around the blade.
    Iron-light: Long-sword enchanted with magic flames, useful for burning enemies or starting campfires.
    Arc-stone: A powerful lightning stone inlaid into his left gauntlet, allowing him to shoot lightning from his left hand. Continuous use can cause magical feedback which can cause him injury.
    Ward of Light: another magic stone inlaid into his gauntlet, although he can't identify which type, that allows him to cast a protective shield in front of himself. Can ward off low-level spells and regular physical attacks, but high-level magic with shatter the shield and the backlash will stun him for a short time. "
Choose two , discard the other two.
2. The Citadel is a HQ / Prison for the Templar. If he was wanted by the Empire , he would either be killed or in the prison. So , if you can change to something like this " He was allowed to join the Citadel because of his long standing record. He is kept on high watch and is not allowed to interact with the Magi ". Something like this :)
