Spellcasters in Earthdawn indeed face challenges with the strain and potential warping associated with spellcasting. It's important for spellcasters to manage their strain and consider alternative options like using Stun spells instead of potentially self-damaging spells like Bolt.

Regarding the sample Mage in the book, it would depend on their attributes, talents, and other factors. However, it is possible for a Mage to take a wound from using Bolt if their Toughness is not sufficient to absorb the strain.

Trolls can be a viable choice for spellcasters due to their high Toughness, which allows them to withstand more strain. However, it's essential to consider other attributes and talents that contribute to spellcasting effectiveness.
