Mage Class

Description

Mages can be a very difficult class to play. At higher levels their firepower can grow to immense proportions causing all to tremble in fear at their very presence. As Mages advance, they can learn a wide variety of spells, both offensive and defensive. Mages are undoubtedly the most powerful offensve class, however, getting there is no easy task. Mages are not really suitable for inexperienced players however once mastered they are almost unequaled for damage output.
