Mages are primarily concerned with the study of magic, natural forces, and the development of their own minds. This creates a dangerous combination that allows them to master the power of the natural elements. Due to the high difficulty of studying each element, magicians always focus on only one of the four elements, which are fire, water, air and earth. So an ice mage deals with the power of water and ice, which he can amplify and control to his advantage. Mage's Wrath is definitely a good thing to avoid, as out of all the magical professions mages can inflict the most damage on their enemies. Their knowledge and strong bond with magic gradually makes them resistant to the magic of others. Mages spend a large part of their lives studying various books and scrolls and this takes a toll on their physical condition. Their bodies are therefore weak and not very resistant. Mages crave knowledge and experience, so they often join groups of adventurers, to whom they benefit not only with their ability to destroy, but also with other useful spells. If a mage goes on an adventure in the world alone, he usually summons an elemental to help him, this magical creature then fights by his side.
Although a mage is able to wear armor and weak melee combat with a staff, he is unable to successfully cast a spell in any armor.

Equipment
Mage's very basic equipment consists only of regs, but it is also advisable to have at least heal, cure potions and hypnotic ornaments. His bandage healing is very weak. At low level, he can help melee with a staff against weak monsters. Of the armor, he only has robes that provide weak protection. In other armor, he is unable to cast a spell. His basic non-magic equipment is also very cheap for its simplicity, but it does not provide him with any essential benefit. However, magical items are a great help to the mage, more in the items section. Basic equipment can be purchased from npc vendors or craftsman players.
Weapons
The mage's main weapon is his mind, but he can also deal weak physical damage with a staff up to 2 squares away. The damage type is blunt. He can also cast spells with a staff or a book. Weapons can be crafted by the craftsman profession from a variety of materials and qualities. Weapons are damaged by use, the skill armslore is used to determine the state of weapons. In addition, magic staves and books are also damaged by spells, the skill item identification (itemid) is used to determine their condition. Thus, magic staves can be damaged by both physical and magical use, and it is necessary to use both skills to control them. More information about weapons, their claim to level, properties, etc. in the weapons section.
Armor
A mage can only cast spells in robes. Robes from level 10+ can only be worn by a mage, they provide weak physical protection and cannot be magical. In addition to robes, a mage can also wear all kinds of clothing (dresses, shoes, hats, cloaks, etc.) and jewelry (ring, necklace, and bracelet). However, non-magical items, apart from the mage's robes, are just a fashion accessory. Some types of clothing and jewelry can also be magical. Armor can be crafted by the craftsman profession from a variety of materials and qualities. Arms are damaged by damage received and need to be checked with the arms lore skill.
SkillsSkills are trainable attributes that have a major impact on each character's gameplay. Below is the table of max values at level 30. From level 31 onwards, only stats are being increased.
|
StatsStats are basic character attributes whose values are affected by Races and Classes. The mage has a small amount of HP. It is a key intelligence stat for a mage, improving his magic damage, mana pool and mana regeneration. So the choice of race depends on personal preference. E.g. drow has lower strength (has less health and worse carrying capacity) and dexterity (worse dodging attacks), but has more INT (has more mana, better mana regen, and stronger spell damage), compared to elf, which is almost the opposite. For assessment, use the table below with stats at 30th and 35th level. A mage race often used by players is the drow.
