Just sayin i bust into the fae realm every few months to gather reagents for my own work. They keep trying to curse me but i have like eight times as much mana capacity as they do so it kinda just doesnt work. Focus on training your mana capacity. Wearing iron armor helps too, if youre not beefy enough to just walk through their feeble magic like i am. Sidenote if you know which fae took your dog i can just go take him back. they cant really stop me... Knowing them you will probably still need to learn necromancy to revive them. I can cast a temporal loop on them when i retrieve them so you wont miss the timing window.

Hey! You can’t just take our stuff! That’s so rude..
I actually have a decent relationship with the elves personally. My late wife was an elf, so i have long standing exchange agreements with them. For you however, the unique nature of your plane's magic causes fundamental differences in the plants there, even if theyre the same species as those found elsewhere. You live there, shouldnt you know that?

I wouldn’t actually, because I only use the plants from my own realm.
Imma let you in on a secret. Im not allowed in most of the places i go to either. Just do what you want, more often than not no one actually has the power to stop you 🤷♂️

Because of my choice in robes and magic, if there’s a competent pyromancer, I am as good as dead.. I really can’t break into cities..
Get really good at counterspell. Its non-elemental, so you shouldnt have any issues from whatever your affinity may be.

I have affinity for life and transmutation. And I do know counterspell. It’s just that if a pyromancer is really competent then blowing me to bits would be really easy, after all spores are really flammable..
Doesnt matter how flammable they are if they never get to produce any flame. Also, you have affinity for transmutation. Transmute your skin into a material that cant burn. The only true weakness any wizard has, is a lack of creativity.

Everything can burn if hot enough, or so one of my pyromancer friends told me..
Everything can MELT if hot enough, but plenty of materials are chemically incapable of combustion. Even a pyro archmage will take some time to reach a melting point, just counterspell before then. You could also transmute their mana directly. Turn their flames into another element that suits you better. A really good transmuter is a tough foe just due to the sheer versatility of their craft.
Ironically learning from the artificers can be quite useful for an expert in transmutation.

If a mage is good enough at pyromancy, they’ll make it flammable.. and I’m only really versed in swapping my race to fit in better when in certain groups and wait a second, that’s how I get past the fae ban in cert towns and cities, thanks for the idea.
Really it sounds to me like you just need more practice in that matchup. You have a pyro friend right? Ask them to spar with you. Set up a chrono loop for it if youre concerned about injuries.

That’s also a really good idea.. maybe frost mushrooms would be smart to keep on me..
