Sanctaphrax:
Oh, good. Somebody else has something to add. I should just say thanks, but being the kind of guy that I am I can't help nitpicking. There are three things that I find odd about the Mystical Martial Artist:

1. He's got "Fly [-2]" listed as a possible power. I assume that you mean Wings, but that's a [-1] power.
2. His Refresh Total is -6 where it should probably be 1.
3. He only has Good Fists. This isn't exactly a mistake, but it's odd.

Incidentally, I like the use of Modular Abilities to model magical martial arts. I've thought about how to stat magical martial arts before, and now that I see this I realize that it's much better than what I had in mind.

Anyway, here's my plan for Fomor nobility: three ranks, with increasing magical power and decreasing humanity. The lowest rank, the Greater Fomor Sorcerer, would be like the ordinary Fomor Sorcerer but with a power level of Snorkelling. The middle rank, the Fomor Lord, would be a fully aquatic creature with both physical and magical power. He would be at the In A Submarine power level, and I'm still trying to think of a good gimmick for him. The highest rank would be called the Leviathan, and would be an enormous fish with great magical powers. Like the Demon Lord, he'd be a huge threat physically, magically, and socially. But since he won't be able to breath air, your characters probably won't have to worry about him.

Thoughts?

Tbora:
In Even Hand, it mentioned the Fomors have a king, whom presumably is the top dog of the court, you may want to stat him up as the final level of the Fomor nobility instead of the Leviathan.

Sanctaphrax:
Well, I haven't read Even Hand. What do they say about the Fomor King in it?
