Ok...that's too OP. Not just for Remnant, for anything.

First of all, mages are strong, but usually in a few elements. Zanas is strong in ALL, and even in non-elemental spells. That automatically makes him OP.

And even if you make him a not-really-strong mage, he would still be OP through the sheer amount of versatility alone, given how he is at least skilled in ALL kinds of magic, elemental and not.

As an example, Persona 2 has about 17 different kinds of attack types of which 13 are magical. Ice, earth, fire, wind, force, mind, darkness, light, water, electricity, nuclear, almighty, nerve.

If Zanas is strong in ALL kinds of magic except necromancy, that means he could cover for all of those 13 spells effectively. If the enemy is weak against any kind of magic that isn't necromancy, they would die, because Zanas is strong in everything magical except Necro. Actually, make that 14, as his small skills with a sword would allow him to cause some damage to anyone weak to slashes, along with giving him at the least some physical utility in combat.

I can understand a Jack of all Trades. But a Master of All? Not as a main character on anything, not on my book.
