all the spells they will ever need. Warmages knowfewer spells than wizards and even sorcerers,but the spellsthey do knoware enhanced.WarmagesFerno, a warmagedo not needto studyspellbooks,but theydo need toprepare theirspells each dayby spendingtime to call up theknowledge fromtheir unconsciousminds. Warmages donot specialize inschools of magicthe way wizardscan.In their training, warmagesalso learn a few mundane warlikeskills. They develop proficiency withsome weapons and armor, learning to usesuch items without incurring a risk of arcanespell failure.Alignment: Because all alignments mustbe prepared to fight for their causes, warmagesmight be found among virtually any army thatuses spellcasting as artillery on the battlefield.Religion: Some warmages favor Boccob (deityof magic), while others follow Wee Jas (deity ofdeath and magic). Many warmages revere nodeity at all.Background: Warmages are chosen(or apply) to attend special arcanewar colleges. Such colleges arenot for the weak of spirit. The rigorsof both body and mind bear littleresemblance to the apprenticeshipundergone by regular wizards,or the self-taught fumbling ofsorcerers. Warmage collegesare more similar to bootcamps sponsored bylarge nation-states.Throughout theirtraining, warmagesare forced towear ponderousgarments (meant to familiarize their bodieswith the limitations of movement in armor)while drilling constantly with spells,most of which are too high inlevel to be cast by thestudent. This vigorousdrilling instillsthe spells in a warmage’sunconsciousmind, so that as he grows in power later in life,those spells become available for his use withouthis needing a spellbook.After their training, warmages share a deep feelingof camaraderie with their fellow students and continue tofeel a slight affection for any well-run military outfit.Illus. by M.
