Personally, I don't see the need for Sponsored Magic. And the skills seem excessive. Aside from that mine won't be likely to look too much different.
KOFFEYKID:
I only upped the cap of his skills to 1 higher than your example of Listens to Wind, I figure that the Merlin would have access to one tier higher on the skill chart, as far as sponsored magic, he needs a way to cast wards at evocation speed.

Again, very small modifications. I refined his Earth Evocation a bit, to the point where he can manage 10 shift offensive or defensive Earth Evocations. Though all that goes down to 8 without Focus Items. I also gave him Riposte to reflect his training with Luccio and general sword skill, and a defensive item as he seems too savvy not to have one. The man is hardcore.

Uh, Listens To Wind caps out at 6. Your Merlin goes to 8 and has three skills there. For comparison, the official version caps at 7 and has one.
And I don't see any reason he needs to be able to do Wards at Evocation speeds. He was in a battle between, well, armies when he did his Army-Stopping-Ward. Battles take easily long enough to pull off conventional Thaumaturgy.

Ahh, *ahem* yes, your right, I dont use the name of the ranks, I just use the value of the rank. I usually have to look up the rank name to find the value, and I was off by one, :P.
