Reny the Mage is pretty bad at casting spells. She doesn't know how to use a blade or even swing a hammer. She can't shoot a bow and would probably just hurt herself if she even tried to swing an axe... But she can fight.
She really is! I hope we see more of her adventures here. A badly done spell might have some interesting effects & be useful in an unexpected way when combined with a clever girl's actions.
Such characters are a fairly new phenomena & have not been done to death as the uber-warrior has. I made many of my animal companions so I could play such a character, but they turned out so strong that the characters didn't develop their own defensive abilities like Reny has done. My characters tended to hum a tune & pick mushrooms while the companions took care of the attackers in the background. (Perhaps I should have done weaker companions as some have suggested. Perhaps I will. The fox might work.)
It is really interesting to see you making an adventure with a not so uber-character living by her wits rather than by the usual might. She will probably have more friends who will help her & more unusual & interesting experiences & situations. A very interesting idea. ;-)

Truly creative.

Benbenben, it's a real interesting character. I like her face and glance and her particular clothes.
