Mage. Mages strive to be masters of magical energies, shaping and casting them as spells. They devote much of their time to magical research, studying strange tongues and learning obscure facts.

Mages rely on knowledge and wit to survive. They are rarely seen adventuring without a the support of a retinue of Fighters and men-at-arms. Because there are different types (or schools) of magic, there are also different types of Mages. The standard Mage studies all types of magic and learns a wide variety of spells. Their breadth of knowledge and skill make these Mages well-suited to the demands of adventuring.
