    I read that paragraph about 10 times over and I did not understand one thing you just said. It's like you purposely threw jargon at me (that I happen to know fortunately) to try and make a point but it made absolutely no sense. But I'm not just going to be mean and give you the benefit of the doubt that you actually had something meaningful to say... in which case, could someone please translate this?

    It's simple. Just because an ability is shown in a cutscene, doesn't mean a player has to have it too. You remember the elezen who summoned a fleet of ghost ships? Yeah, Thaumaturge should be able to do that too.

    Oh I get it now. I had actually forgot what I was talking about in this thread so now it makes sense.

    I'm afraid that's not my fault. The explanation was quite clear, and in fact others understood it with no problems.
