Wizard Mage
Wizard Mages are esteemed scholars and warriors, versed deeply in magical arts. Originating from the Capital City's grand academies, they wield legendary Signature Spells and command Elemental Guardians, influencing Alavir’s history and politics. These mages decipher ancient prophecies and are pivotal in battles, their powers shaping the land’s destiny.
Wizard Mages are vital to Alavir’s communities. They link academies, arcane libraries, and guilds, enriching them with diverse magical knowledge. Their versatility in spellcasting makes them invaluable allies across various magical traditions. Moreover, their guardians are more than mere summoned beings; they are companions and extensions of the mages’ will, integral to their existence.
Aspiring players should consider the Wizard Mage subclass not only for its powerful combat abilities but also for its profound role in society as advisors and seers. Their strategic use of Scrying Orbs and ability to jam enemy incantations make them indispensable in both defense and espionage. Thus, playing a Wizard Mage offers a chance to explore complex ethical questions and engage in a richly woven tapestry of alliances and magical research.
