OH yes I do!
1) Know your magic! Study the lore like its your major, and of course don't forget to study the general magic lore of Mizahar as well.
2) Magic is Dangerous, so RP it that way! People are suspicious and fear Magic, and in general a mage will be hated before he/she is liked. That needs to show in your RP as well
3) Don't forget to overgive. Magic is hard, takes tons of concentration and you wont be perfect every time! Play it to the level of difficulty that it is
Finally I would say only choose one, maybe 2, magics to specialize in. Don't take on tons of magics because realistically you will only really practice one with any vigor lol. If you spread yourself thin and choose too many then you will end up with very little points in any one magic where as if you focus on one you can really gain the levels faster.
Thats what I got for now so good luck! Oh and avoid cities that hate magic. They really will string you up lol.
Sincerely,
Evalin
