I was replying to Arjan, actually. Sorry for confusing you.
Maybe not like Butters. Thomas is a better example though, give or take a few centuries to make his talent into something useful.

I was aware of who you were replying to, I was just presenting evidence to back your post.. I sighted Butters because with a little help from Harry he was able to protect himself with a magic circle... So no, I wasn't confused...

Cassius did much more than that, he was not called snake boy for nothing. But wether his training came from the council or from a fallen does not matter that much, he had a lot of training. More important is the versitility of his talent and the strength of it. It is probably debatable and we do not have all the information but I take the death curse as an indication that he was at least close to it.
We have seen a lot of Harry and senior council but a lot of wizards are not as strong as Harry is, there must be weaker wizards running around as well.

I think sorcerer is more accurate... As we saw in Storm Front, they can pull off a lot of magical stuff, but that doesn't make them wizards...

Cassius was probably at the upper ranges of sorceror talent, thanks largely to Saluriel's help and an extended lifetime to practice. But Victor Sells was a marked step up from Cassius, a full Council-level warlock who did spells in at least five different areas (the three-eye drug, calling and commanding the toad guy, the scorpion constructs, remote projection to speak and observe through shadows, and the heart-ripper curse itself). Harry figured at one point in the narration that they were probably pretty closely matched in strength, but his big advantage was that Sells' tutor hadn't trained him as thoroughly as Justin and Ebenezar taught Harry.
