Mage: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 09:48, 23 July 2026

Mage is a first class reached from Novice and the primary spellcasting path of the Mage line. Mages trade durability for raw magical power: they wield the three elemental bolts — Cold Bolt, Fire Bolt and Lightning Bolt — alongside crowd control such as Frost Diver and Stone Curse, and early area spells like Fire Ball and Thunder Storm. They rely on high INT for magic damage and DEX to shorten cast time, and advance into the Wizard or Sage second classes.
