Mage

Mage's Symbol

“Those that devote their life to the Arcane Arts. Vulnerable, but eventually very powerful.”

― In-game text

Very few are born with the gift of Magic, and among those even fewer manage to survive the training to become a Mage. Mages harness great destructive powers with several offensive spells, and in a more limited way, some defensive abilities. Many young mages in the Kingdoms wander in search of ancient ruins and arcane secrets that could give them enough reputation to join the famous Wizard's Guild; in many cases, they ended up biting more than they can chew. Because of this they have a reputation as troublemakers among the common people.
