Even in the realm of Stiyl's rune magic, he doesn't delve very much (if at all) into spells under the Norse elements of Ice or Frost.

Going by that, I'd say that a real advantage mages have isn't having multiple powers, but being able to choose their power. You must have a tough life if you were born into Academy City and your power happens to be regulating heat at level 1. :/

Also, I hope that in future volumes Stiyl abandons his trade and takes up Explosive Hair Magic like his employer.
