The Mage

Arcane wisdom and manipulation of cosmic forces are the Mage's stock in trade. In a hostile world, his power to become invisible, to see in the dark, to control his surroundings and shield himself with magic allows him to come through many bad situations unscathed. His control over the destructive forces of nature enable him to be the most fearsome of foes. All this power comes at a price however; the required years of intense study do not allow for much physical conditioning, thus the mage is the least physically durable class.

All mages begin with skill in the dagger. Any other weapon skills must be purchased, at a very high rate. The default skill selection for mages is as follows:
