Aaron my character for example is very good at both magic manipulation and swordsman skills considering he spent like three years training with it non stop before his current self I rp.

3 years is absolutely peanuts in that kind of things. A drop in the water at best. You will probably be a neophyte after that, nothing more. That's how it works with art, drawing, music, martial arts, swordsmanship or whatever else.
To put it frankly, let us look at the 10,000 hours rule. In short, that's a lie. I could get complicated and explain it but that's too much work.
I guess what I'm saying is there's no static timeframe for one person to get highly adept at something. No where in my post did I say Aaron was masterful,I simply said he's "very good", also for clarification.
Gotta read between the lines there. Unless you know a timeframe to judge someone's ability in a field that was vaguely classified as "very good"?
In 3 years? Are you kidding me?
Well, in any case, I never saw anyone like that in my entire life. I have been to art schools, do art myself, and anyone that tells me outright that they master their field (drawing, painting, whatever you fancy), after just 3 years, is suffering from heavy delusions.
Seriously... 3 years.
Will have to agree to disagree on that one, but that's just silly. Go tell me that a musician gets a master of his art after just 3 years. Really?
I'm certainly not saying that there is a fixed timeframe, I'm just saying that be it a master, or 'very good', after 3 years, is silly to me. Unless we somehow put a very different meaning behind 'very good'.
