Negligible means insignificant, you might be thinking of a different word.
Nor do we know it uses all eight winds or that he did it by himself or anything about him.
Well, Teclis grew up in a paradise and with support from his mage father. A human Teclis would likely die of disease in childhood.
It wasn't a particularly serious post, but yeah, even Teclis in the books nearly dies during childhood from how frail he is. Even though humans are generally tougher than elves, I don't imagine that the majority of the descendants of a theoretical Khaine-empowered human king would be given similar care.
You don't need to be an Archmage to use high magic. Mages can use it on the tabletop. Boney hasn't given many precise statements about the number of people who can use high magic, but we can extrapolate from one. Boney mentioned that Laurelorn has around twenty enchanters at any given time who are willing to create an enchantment that requires a sliver of ability with high magic. That's at any given time, so guessing the number of high magic enchanters Laurelorn will go up when you include people who are already available or just don't want to bother with it. That number increases further when you consider that a large number of high magic mages won't be enchanters.
I did choose that word, but I was correctly typing a perhaps incorrect thought.
Especially since while the elves are a race of jocks...Humans have this tendency to be even more focused on glorifying jocks. Which is important when considering that Teclis being a twin, we need to also consider the existence of Human!Tyrion. Most Human Kings would 100% decide that Human!Tyrion is the one deserving of attention.
We do. The flying fastness has been observed enough. The descriptions are pretty clear about it having eight towers, each radiant with single wind.
. I also assume his authorship may be somewhat settled by his tome. Which contains exactly no insight into how he did what he did but presumably does contain that he did what he did.The first "look at what I did to this chicken" paper.We do. The flying fastness has been observed enough. The descriptions are pretty clear about it having eight towers, each radiant with single wind.
While it is true such a thing could instead come by cooperation instead of by hands of a long dead unequalled genius, his build up by the memes and just general cool factor would suffer. So I am electing to ignore that possibility
No, it's towers are "swirling with all the Winds of Magic". Nothing about one Wind to a tower, or any indicator that the Winds are actively being used for anything. The Colleges could easily build a set of towers that each attarct one Wind, so even if it is one Wind to a tower, no indicator that he could use more than one.We do.

I suppose i cannot dispute it, thought in this particular round, i would like to point out that i did not say Fozzrik used High Magic (thought i did say so previously on some occassions when his name came up). I don´t think he necessarily wielded Qhaysh, (thought i do think its a possibility), just that he had the capacity to use all eight winds. As for the reason why i don´t think he created Dhar, well you got me there. I just think he is a very cool blorbo and that he works best the way that Boney and thread seems to have built him up as a sort of immensely skilled one off mage. Kinda spoils the effect if he was a dhar infused megalomaniac, even if it would fit the modus operandi of the fortress afterwards, what with it stealing every magical knicknack it can come upon.
I mean, I'd argue that incredible one-off feats in Warhammer are usually (if not always) accompanied by horrific sacrifice. The Vortex trapped its casters forever, the Widowmaker cursed Aenarion's descendants, the Paths of the Old Ones are maintained by ghosts of sacrificed Slann, Settra murdered his chidlren to obtain Nehekhara's bounty. In Warhammer, incredible power comes at a price, and that price is paid in blood at best.
Yes i frequently misspel it. Its hard to remember if C is supposed to be there and how many z´s.His name was Fozzrik, not Fozzrick.
While it is certainly possible for Boney to not correct people when they have asked several questions where Fozzrik being a human was part of the assumption behind the question, i elect to not go with that. It´s been an assumption that he was one since pretty much the beginning, and i see zero reason to doubt that.
Article: The legend of Fozzrik is swathed in mystery. He lived long before the establishment of the Colleges of Magic, yet the few surviving histroical records agree he was a powerful wielder of the arcane. How he came to be tutored in magic remains unknown.
Nah. Seems like something that might become a Spoiler should thread madness triumph and we go haring after Fozzrik's architecture in the badlands.
I see no harm in asking. We got confirmation that Kadon of Kadon´s Transformation and Binding Scrolls was a human after all.
Storm of Magic has a quote from Teclis stating outright that Kadon was human. Also text in the Monstrous Arcanum indicating the same.
Yeah, Kadon the necromancer, who found the body of Alcadizzar and ended up possessing the Crown of Sorcery and was a key part of forming Strygos, was a human, I'm pretty sure.
The Kadon of the Transformation and the Kadon of the Binding Scrolls may-or-may-not have been the same Kadon.
