yeah that does sound awesome, but I bet we could just ignore air combat by having magically empowered(mage gems wink wink, nudge nudge) long bows shoot everything out of the air.

I know this probably isn't the time to introduce new forms of magic but I think creating mages that can individually manipulate heat might be a good. It already has a basis in the frost tower and fireball, it will also be able to if not manipulate, at least mess up their use of wind through hot and cold messing with pressure. Then it also has general combat capabilities as well as utility, like being able to sense temperature, allowing mages to spot ambushes very easily even in the dead of night.

Also thanks for the explanation Cheifwaffle.

I have to say countering their use of wind seems the most prudent choice. They seem to use it effectively everywhere from their carpets, to arrow deflection, to their sailing. Your arguments for not getting involved with it, is it would take too long to get to their level. But the thing is you don't need to get to their level you just have to contest their use of it so they can't control it so precisely.

Something like a wild magic arrow that whips up the wind around it while using some of it to stay on course.

Maybe just a plain old anti magic ball you can shoot or something.

Or just a wind mages so we can, as I said before, just contest it.

It's unfortunate you can't really counter anti magic really, can't exactly have anti-anti magic. I wish anti magic wasn't allowed feels like a bit of a cop out to be honest, can't think of an inventive way to counter something? Anti magic!

Work my way up through NASA till I am an astronaut. See if I can some way of getting to Mars on one of my missions. If I do get out and take off my helmet, then have a nice nap.

Whyyyyyyyyy!?

Well that was short lived.
