Ike's company of fighters and mercenaries was certainly not short of magic-users- they had three powerful mages who wielded the elements of lightning, fire, and wind with their tomes, each specializing in one kind of magic. And if one took the moment to reflect on each element and its corresponding wielder, one would discover the magic and user were not so different after all.
Ilyana, like the lightning she called down on her foes, was ever-hungry. In a blink, it descended, electrocuting and scorching the enemy as fast as she devoured her food. When lightning wasn't lightning, though, and only static electricity, no one noticed it until it built up into a blinding bolt- just as few saw Ilyana until she collapsed on them, begging for food and perhaps chewing on their boots.
Tormod's passion and cheerful penchant for destruction was as strong as the energy of the fire that incinerated his enemies on the battlefield. The lively boy had energy and flame-red hair to match the devouring fire he controlled. He burned bright like his beloved flames, seeking more and more, striving for new heights of strength, as the fire looked for more to consume.
Soren was perhaps the closest to his chosen form of elemental magic of the three. The wind he was the master of blew as cold and harsh as his personality, the wind ripping into foes as cruelly as he tore into people with words. He was a master strategist, able to strike at the most vulnerable points of a person's psyche or an enemies' forces, just as his wind pinpointed those exposed areas and brought down bandits, soldiers, and laguz alike.
Each mage had certain qualities of their chosen magics, and it made many wonder; did the magic always match their personalities, or did they become like the magic?
