 * Short Range- Barbossa. The Freedom's Call staff doesn't miss but it's magic is really weak and melee isn't much for killing. The Rapier will go straight through Anders' robes.
 * Mid-Range- Anders. This spell will send multiple volts through Barbossa, stunning him, his pet and any soldiers on his side. It's not the most damaging spell in the Mage's arsenal, but it's easy to cast and has much better range and ease of use to him than the Boarding Pike.
 * Long Range- Anders. A flintlock is all well and good, but Firestorm hits hard, hits often and is hard to avoid. Once caught in this inferno, Barbossa will be overwhelmed with the heat and pain.
 * Special- Barbossa. Grenado can kill, Spirit Healing can't. That said, the ability to recover from stab and bullet wounds as easily as Anders can with this magic will aid him greatly in a more "X-Factor" sense.
 * X-Factor- Even. Barbossa becomes invincible, but is still just himself and has to be holding Aztec Gold, which Anders can probably figure out through magical detection. Anders' form makes him stronger and faster, but doesn't make him invincible. So it's a power up vs. super armor, basically. It could really go either way depending on time into the battle.
 * Pet- Anders. Ser Pounce-A-Lot can bring back his allies from death instantly, despite his lesser combat use than Jack the Monkey.
 * Deadliest Warrior- Anders. This is the classic magic vs. guns debate, and I'm going to have to go with magic. Anders has more experience, healing and some powerful spells, enoguh so to overwhelm Barbossa's gunpowder, grenado and superior close range weapon.
