I think it got deleted due to being long summaries

Depends on what you mean by balancing out? Both have their pros and cons.

Rumia: she's sharp and can read people. Her skills as a magician is average but she has great potential because of OP magic. She has a good personality but is bad at cooking.

Sistina: she's intelligent but a little naive. She doesn't have OP magic like Rumia does but as a magician she's a rare prodigy that makes her second to none in her year with vast knowledge compared to her peers. Her personality needs work but she's good at cooking.

Rumia is also good at white magic, which Sistina is poor at.

I wonder if someone's gonna finish the summaries of Vol 12. Of course hopefully they'll be a bit shorter.

Perhaps but still, as far as overall talent as a magician goes Sistina way ahead of Rumia. In fact, if not for battle experience and knowledge I would say Sistina is better than Glen as a magician.

I wouldn't go as far to say she's better than Glen as a magician. He did use to be in the Magic corps. And even created his own spell "Fool's world". He had talent as well.

Glenn has knowledge but he didn't really have talent. Most of his knowledge stems from his experience and also being the pupil of Celica (greatest magician on the continent). If you exclude that Glenn would be average which is why he's a 3rd rank magician. He can't even use "Shock Bolt" in a one-verse chant. Sistina is a prodigy with incredible knowledge for her age and have enormous quantity of mana capacity. Imagine if she was trained by Celica.

Glenn don't have talent??, if you talk about his talent, it is the same when you talk about Emiya Shirou's talent. Their talent don't belong to traditional mage realm. they are unorthodox mage that combine almost every kind of combat and strategy in battlefield. Remember Lancer's words to Shirou: you quick on your feet, but your magical capacity is hopeless. Well wrap up they are more of a combat genius than a mage genius.

Not really, even Celica stated that Glenn didn't really have talent. Glenn can fight but again it mainly comes from his experience in the magician corps and also being Celica's student. As far as fights goes Glenn needs back up against strong magicians like the one he fought in Volume 1 and against Justice. Both times where Glenn fought on his own, he didn't stand a chance and needed backup from Sistina.

I can see where @Viethai coming from, but Fool World while it's indeed Glenn trump card is highly situational and even with it included as part of his talent he is still subpar magician.

If you really want make some comparison Glenn is much more like Lord El Meloi II (aka Waver Velvet) *then Emya Shiro

But the first part describe Shirou and UBW as well though? UBW is situational trump card, and he is still a 3rd rate Magus.

Waver, OTOH, is a capable magus with average power, but rather lacking in combat.

I think you people are underestimating Glenn and overestimating Sistina. It's been proven Glenn is way above an average 3rd rank. He was feared as "The Fool" for a reason and killed many mages. The guy entered the academy at the age of 10. Sistina have talent but by normal standards. I don't think she's more talented than Glenn, who entered the magician corp at the age of 14.

His "Fool's World" is an original magic which is not common by magician and while it is situational, Glenn has proven he can make it work. Only people who knows about it before hand has a chance but they are oblivious to Glenn abilities than they fall prey to it.

It's just another case of hardware vs software in my eyes. Sistina is talented but that only mean that her specs that she was born with is high, it is entirely different when combat ability, situational analysis, ... is involved think of a computer with high end rig but run on Ubuntu or MS dos and another normal one run on win 10. working wise it is the one that can use the most out of it are the more effective one

Yet another topic that gets out of hand.

Does anyone know where I can find the rest of Vol 12?

He is great assassin, decent combatant, use bit of magic and knows lot how to counter it. He is hybrid where whole is much more than sum of parts and actual practical magic part isn't worth a lot on it's own. Put away his CQC combat, tools and weapons and all you get magician who got crushed by high school girl in magical duel.

Celica in other hand got immortality by what age again? Twenty? Twenty six? And everything Glenn knows about magic he learned from her.
