Romeoxero is my gamer tag. Has been forever. Im an actor (not currently acting anywhere, big surprise) and Shakespeare was one of my niches. One of my favorite plays is Romeo and Juliet but not for the titular characters, but for Merctuio (whom i did get to play in Scotland at the fringe festival. Great time with a great show but that's a tale for another day). However in my youth i didn't think anyone would understand the reference and Merctuio was often too long for submissions for tags (back in those days) so i defaulted to Romeo. That became popular though with folks who likely were styling themselves as an online Casanovas. As a result i was often forced to alter my chosen name. So frequently in fact that i decided to rebrand it entirely and add my "numeral" to the end of the name as the new RomeoXero was never unavailable.  It's entirely coincedence that i eventually ended up polyamorous with 3 girlfriends.

Tldr: i like Shakespeare but my fav character is obscure.

Yes it attacks all non flying creatures, regardless of friendly or not.

Im RomeoXero everywhere.

Hell yes griz! Come join the global meta!

As far as mind control goes, you can also choose to run Mage only spells. Creatutes like fellela, Sosruko, cassiel and Goran the werewolf pet are all either magr specific or school specific and cannot be targeted by mind control.

 The former. He gains both melee plus one and +1 effect die value per mana spent. 4 mana= melee plus 4 effect die plus 4

That's true, but in that case they wasted half the arcane ward and shoulda used a decoy instead
