As everyone knew, Planeswalkers were an extraordinarily diverse profession.
Nearly every one of them developed unique combat habits based on the casting environment of the plane where they were born, its overall magical level, and their personal experiences.
Some excelled at using all manner of magic.
Jace Beleren's mind magic, Teferi's time magic, Nissa Revane's nature magic, Chandra Nalaar's fire magic, Garruk's summoning magic, and Liliana Vess's necromancy were all classic examples.
Others were better at transformation magic and physical combat.
Sarkhan, Gideon Jura, Elspeth Tirel, and Ajani Goldmane were the most famous representatives of this type.
Rather than calling them "mages," it was more accurate to describe them as warriors who had mastered certain Spell-like Abilities. Some were outright berserkers.
Then there were Artifact makers like Tezzeret and Venser, who excelled at crafting and repairing all kinds of magical and technological items.
The final category included Ancient Planeswalkers who had lived for an extremely long time, such as Sorin Markov, Ugin, the Spirit Dragon, Nahiri, and Nicol Bolas.
Over the endless years, they had learned too many things. They could basically do everything and were good at a little of everything, without any obvious weaknesses.
Their immense vitality and bizarre survival methods, in particular, made them exceptionally difficult to truly kill.
Moreover, most planes had not developed a complex, complete, and diverse magical system like Toril had with the help of Mystra and the Weave.
They could even rely directly on magic to ascend to godhood.
Most importantly, although mages wielded power capable of destroying heaven and earth, they themselves were incredibly fragile.
Without any precautions, even a poisoned dagger could easily kill a high-level mage capable of casting spells of the seventh circle or higher.
That meant that, even for their own safety, mages would inevitably go mad
