A conduit of raw elemental power, the Mage reshapes the very fabric of the battlefield with devastating spells of fire and ice.
Mages are scholars of the unspeakable, individuals who dedicate their lives to understanding the chaotic energies that bled into Atheria during the Great Shattering. They see magic not as a gift, but as a dangerous, untamed force that must be controlled through sheer intellect and willpower. While others see them as reclusive and eccentric, Mages are the true architects of large-scale battles, capable of turning the tide with a single, reality-bending incantation.
A Mage's role is to control the battlefield from a distance and inflict overwhelming area-of-effect damage. They are the artillery of the party. While they lack the durability of a Barbarian or the single-target focus of an Archer, their ability to wipe out entire waves of lesser enemies is unparalleled. They also provide crucial utility through crowd control, freezing enemies in place or creating barriers to protect allies. A Mage is the ultimate force multiplier, but their power comes at the cost of extreme fragility.
