I can't think of a single more intimidating sentence.

With a lot of backgrounds I could win against that situation 33% of the time by just pressing tab until the situation is resolved.

You seem to be thinking that this is a background that is supposed to fight everything and clear the whole game using evocations, while the other posters are mostly talking about it as "melee dude who busts out the /enslavement in sticky situations". Played like that, you wouldn't be any more desperate for ?recharging than gladiators are for extra nets. Not to say that more nets is bad... it's just not anywhere near necessary to win a gladiator.

That fact that Ar plays a little different, by giving strong but finite ways for dealing with dangerous monsters, is actually really nice. It's a good and reasonably strong background.

Shard1697 wrote:Yes. Try zapping flame at very early hobgoblin? I'm not sure what to tell you, you don't run out of charges fast enough to make it not worth having great wands compared to better melee weapon when you can just find better melee weapon before long. Short sword isn't even bad on first couple floors.

Just try it yourself. When a single hobgoblin drops you to low hp because you've missed 5 times in a row with a short sword will change your mind.
