The Mage
The mage is a master of powerful mystic energies, able to use magic in the most
spectacular and destructive of ways. Mages are a fragile class, with little health and
poor fighting ability. However, they make up for this physical weakness with their
awesome spellcasting. Mages can dish out the most ranged damage in the shortest
time.

Class Abilities
The mage is the master of powerful offensive magic and has a host of other unique
abilities. They exist to blast monsters from range. In fact, in this role, they are
unrivaled by all classes. Only the rogue can hope to approach the massive amount
of damage the mage can deal out, and even then, the rogue must get to within
melee range to do so. Mage spells fall into three schools: arcane, frost, and fire.
Their frost and fire spells are mostly offensive, although the frost school does have
spells that can protect the mage and freeze or slow the mage's target. Arcane
spells include some offensive and defensive spells, and non-combat spells such as
teleport.
Mages have little capacity to defend themselves if they run out of mana. They have
weak combat skills and low health. However, mages can summon food and drink
to replenish their health and mana, and at much higher levels, they can create mana
stones that can instantly restore mana, extending their effectiveness in combat.
