Hmm... this is an odd kind of character, one of those "neither fish nor fowl" deals. His Characteristics seem reasonable, although his PD and ED seem kind of high for someone who's essentially a trained normal; but the spells in his VPP look like they could be trouble. They are heavily Limited, which is common for a fantasy mage, but super-level mages are rarely so vulnerable. Since most of those spells are attacks, it really isn't so essential to reduce the cost of individual spells in the VPP that low.
More to the point, while the Active Points in those spells are very high, the comparatively small number of Charges for each one means that Lord Arcane could "shoot his wad" fairly early in a battle, especially if all his offensive spells have a similar Limitation. That becomes more of a concern if he normally works alone. Also along those lines, "Arbelon's Lesser Aegis" doesn't have Persistent or Uncontrolled on it; I may be wrong, but IIRC that would mean that it would shut down if Arcane is Stunned or Knocked Out, wasting whatever is left of that Charge.
The rest of his skill set looks appropriate for a master sorceror.
