point 1) I never claimed that, but if you insist

Point 2) Infinite sip yes, the rest is a blatant fabrication

Point 3) Oh lookie lookie, doesnt Aerian have one of those too? why yes he does

Point 4) Lose consistently? Still only beaten me once in a challenge Aerian, the whole consistency of one eh? I never complained about you using double rituals, it was merely an observation, and for somebody who also uses poisons the last point sucks.

Point 5) Still the best? I never claimed it but once again I appreciate your compliments. Err, so what if I eat a pill away? If you have a problem with the way skills work Id suggest you take it up with the gods and not me. I never said you werent com

petent I just said you werent any more than that and you can fight if you sit in your rituals if you want Aerian, you just have to keep practising I guess. However, what I actually said was the best mages can also fight out of their rituals.

Point 6) Indeed, let's Avalon decide that sounds like a fine idea to me. Or alternatively I offer you a best of 3 challenges set in the underworld with a neutral god as referee and rule maker. The loser loses all their skills.
