Solmyr, Demeer, and Aislin are cheaters (and/or) kamikazes; do the rest have a right to exist?

A player using magic must use the starting hero or another mage in the final.

And if the main character doesn't make it, but a weak character (fighter) does. I think you shouldn't focus on the result of the game, but on the actions of the person who leveled up the mage! ... look at the daily saves to see how the mage performed at all stages of the game ... start/banks/treasure/contact.
