Class Information
A few unintelligible words and fleeting gestures carry more power than a battleaxe, when the yare the words and gestures of a mage (wizard). These simple acts make magic seem easy, but they only hint at the time the wizard must spend poring over her spellbook, preparing each spell for casting, and the years before that spent in apprenticeship to learn the arts of magic. Mages depend on intensive study to create their magic. They examine musty old tomes, debate magical theory with their peers and practice minor magics whenever they can. For a mage, magic is not a talent but a difficult, rewarding art.
Characteristics
The mages strength is with her spells. Everthing else is secondary. She learns new spells as she experiments and grows in experience and she can also learn from other mages. In addition to learning new spells, a mage can, over time, learn to manipulate her spells so they go farther, work better, or are improved in some other way.
Role
The mage's role depends somewhat on her spell selection, but most mages share certain similarities in function. They are among the most offensively minded of the spellcasting classes, with a broad range of options available for neutralizing enemies. Some mages provide great support to their comrades by way of their spells, while others may focus on divinition or other facets of wizardry.
