the weakest? low lvl mages own wild- with fire strike at cmbat lvl 7 they can hit 8! then if they keep pure enough they constantly hit in the mid teens against mele. admitidly slow- but they can still put up a good fight with a ranger- just get members.
because as there is less of the item is around-demand for it goes up- thus inflating the price. (this is for shops) when people trade in bulk they get paid more because of the convinience they have given-saving the person from going round buying 1 or 2 laws many times instead of 2000. :)
