I agree with one of the earlier posts about using your skill to facilitate things. I play Mhaya as having a skillset involving melee combat (See, Swords, shields, fists and axes), and a minor ability with Thaumaturgy (I'd imagine her greatest skill is Fire II). This makes it believable for her to go into other magicks such as what a Dark Knight would use. However, Mhaya has no ability in conjury, leaving her unable to heal her own wounds, and is probably the worst arcanist to ever step into the Arcanist's Guild. (We did a funny RP where Mhaya accidentally summoned a two-headed Carbuncle and put down her grimoire in shame). This also makes it so if Mhaya needs an expert on Conjury, Thaumaturgy or other things, she's forced to seek out a person. Additionally, even with what she's highly skilled in, she's by no means the best and makes mistakes occasionally. Then again, I enjoy playing characters whose flaws shine as well as their masteries, I believe it adds some depth!
