>World is ruled by mages they are are capable of living for a long time
>You come and turns out you are the most talented/powerful mage in history
How would you rather see this represented?
>You grow/learn much quicker than everyone else
>You have the capacity to learn all magics with equal ease
>You have a unique power
What other way could this be shown? also you are supposed to be an underdog at the start as there are hundreds of years old masters that can easily beat you at the start.
