Class Notes: Mages

The Mages were founded by a brilliant scholar who unlocked the secrets of the four elements and learned to wield them like a tool. Many students have learned this dangerous art to enrich Monato Esprit and protect it from harm. Mages wield immense magic power. They are the "heavy artillery" of Monato Esprit, hurling a variety of destructive spells at opponents from a distance. Their favorite position is in the back of the group, where they can safely cast spells over the heads of the fighters. With only light armor and a staff to protect them, smart Mages avoid close encounters with nightmares.

Mages can be a little bit odd at times, but I suppose that's what happens when you work with so much magic. They tend to be loners, which is strange because Mages work best in groups. At first I thought that they were a little cowardly because they always stood behind me to cast their spells and let all the monsters concentrate on me. When I got to know them, though, I realized that I was wrong. They have to make due with light armor and blunt staffs. I suppose it does take some bravery to rely totally on your magic skills.
