In a world of high magic, no party would be complete without a mage. Masters of the arcane, they bring terrible elements to bear in devastating spells. If reality needs changing in some fashion, ask a Mage to help.
Mages tend to have the most direct relationship with The Essence compared to the other classes. This archetype offers four elemental schools as augments to a character’s primary skills and for this reason will have more influence over the elements during certain seasons and climates.
Outlined Skills
Fireball
Burst forth in a blaze of glory! Fireball unleashes a devastating missile of flame towards your target, dealing instant damage. Further strengthening this spell adds damage over time and an explosive area damage effect.
Lightning Bolt
Your power is shocking! Lightning Bolt shoots an electrifying beam that damages enemies in a line in front of you. As this ability grows stronger, it will knock down enemies and even chain to additional foes.
Black Hole
Warp space to your will! Black Hole summons a gravity-defying void at your target location that slowly draws in your foes. Bolstering your Black Hole increases its pull strength and radius, and eventually adds explosive area damage at the end of the pull.
Drain Essence
Their life sustains yours! Drain Essence saps your target of energy, converting their health into mana for yourself. Developing your Drain Essence will increase its damage and mana conversion percentage, and even allow you to deplete targets near to your foe.
Blink
Now they see you, now they don’t! Blink allows you to bend space, warping you forward in the direction you are traveling. Cover even greater distances by powering this skill up more.
Lava Storm
The battlefield burns bright! Lava Storm creates a swath of molten flame at your target location, dealing additional damage in the center of the ability and area damage around you upon casting. Strengthening this skill increases both its overall damage and duration.
Meteor Storm
Let the heavens rain! Meteor Storm summons forth blazing comets from the sky, dropping several fireballs at your target location that deal large area damage upon impact. Mastering your Meteor Storm increases its damage and the number of impacts, also stunning your enemies as they hit.
Prismatic Beam
Line ‘em up and knock ‘em down! Prismatic Beam shoots forth an enormous ray of energy that can be aimed around you. This ability deals large damage to your foes and slows their movement while being hit, even more so after being developed further.
Gift of the Magi
Sometimes it’s better to give than to receive! Gift of the Magi transfers some of your mana to your targeted ally. Specializing in this skill will increase both the amount of mana transferred and its mana transfer efficiency.
