Personally, i wouldn't represent Teclis with figures - he is far too powerful for characters within the scope of this game to deal with on a comparative level.

Just have him do whatever you want - the players can't feasibly hurt him and he can pretty much do what he likes to them or almost any other creature.

Hey, even Teclis had to be an apprentice at some point... Otherwise advanced careers evidently aren't needed in this game. ;)

I generally agree at present. High Elf Archmages in general tend to be beyond the realm of "game balance" (and pretty much always have been) and Teclis would definately cream any adventurers haughty and reckless enough to try to attack him. It's sort of like the question of whether or not to give stats to Cthulhu. Sure, they might make for an interesting "Holy Crap!" type of read but they ulimately matter very little in terms of gameplay.

The biggest unbalancing factor to the High Elf mages is that they can not only draw from all of the Winds of Magic as they please but they can, in fact, blend multiple Winds together to create unique and highly potent effects.

All this said, I would certainly like to see some tools for GMs in future releases that give more details on how to include High Elf True Magic (and Dwarf Runesmithing) in their games. Will it ever be a feasible option for player characters? Probably not.

The Tome of Corruption (v2) had stats for the Greater Daemons. There is no way in hell that any possible group of PCs could ever have any hope of hurting them (the very arrival of a Bloodthirster causes hundereds to die in fright, for example - the Great Unclean One's very precence causes whole cities to die of the plague on the spot...) - but they were fun and interesting. The best bits about them was that it put the Greater Daemon's into context - something the WFB does not do for gameplay purposes. And the descriptions of them (including all the omens and portents that herald their arrival) were extremely entertaining.
