How dare you assume xir's pronouns

In good settings, wizards can't warp reality.

Any setting with wizards limits their power so they don't literally run the world with an iron fist. That's usually why the pointy metal stick does enough damage to kill the magic man.

Then they aren't really wizards then are they.

It wouldn't make any sense whatsoever if casters weren't beefier than martials.

We just had this thread. You used the same image and practically the same post

Yes they are.

Its magic that has its limitations and rules

Gandalf couldn't cast Meteor Swarm, Wish, Gate, or True Resurrection, but he's still THE archetypal wizard.

What exactly COULD Gandalf do?

I remember he zapped some goblins with lightning bolts in the Hobbit but he doesn't seem to be that powerful.

Why does everyone fear and respect him? Is he hiding his true power level or what?
