MAGES
Mages specialize in the casting of spells, offensive ones in particular.
Mages have the highest-powered magic of any class. They are also very
skilled at the use of magical items, though their combat skills are the
weakest of any 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:
skills:
lore The lore of magical items.
spell groups:
beguiling Spells that control the mind.
combat Offensive magics, such as fireball and chill touch.
detection Informational magics, such as detect magic and identify.
enhancement Spells that maximize physical potential, such as haste.
illusion Magics for concealing and deceiving.
maledictions A selection of curses fit for any mage.
protective Defensive magics, ranging from armor to stone skin.
transportation Spells for getting from here to there.
weather Spells for conjuring and mastering the elements.
