Exile, in all honesty you should think about the progression of the character rather then throwing it all in there.  Also I'd like to see more infomation on the character if you could find the time on your busy schedule.

Are you not aware that that has nothing to do with Exile's limit on magic? Read his "Spell List" thread. Despite being extremely overly complicated in my opinion it does have a good IC reason for why mages can't be jacks of all trades and the reason is NOT "People just don't have the brain power to learn all the spell books" but rather "Your body cannot take that much energy in it"

So it seems to me the limit is "being mortal" not "having spell books". Unless this character is immortal/a deity of some sort. In which case that is stupid.

Calm down, it was a joke...
In all seriousness though, I'm sure that this is as much of an "overpowered" character as Romka's paladin.

Yeah except when we call Romka a dumbass and explain why, we can at least make him listen. Last Exile just kicks it back in our face and is like "nope, Im king, dotcha know?"

I'll chip in here.

Often, a completely overpowered God character is needed, and vital, to the server. A hero that's incomparable, who creates, guides, and protects the actions of other characters. Something manipulated by a leader to ensure everyone has fun. In pen and paper roleplay, with a gamemaster, it's a lot easier, as they can assume multiple roles and keep the entire story moving.

In freeform roleplay? It can be a great deal harder to create, and prevent from being stagnant. An majestic character is very, very good at preventing this from happening. If you want a practical example, imagine that Exile wants to get the server gathered against a foe; for example, a fierce dragon licking its wounds, and preparing to strike back. A character of proven power has the ability to say, "Bam. Get over here, and help," and more importantly, supplies a reason, and motivation, for characters to listen and do as he suggests. If you've been to Half-Life 2, Rex Lee is a good example of this; a gaming example would be Satele Shan, from TOR. Alternately, imagine Strelok, or one of his group, coming up and explaining a problem he doesn't have time to solve.

My $0.02, and it depends on the situation and how the character is portrayed.
