Mage

Magic if the fundamental force on Ere. Not only does elemental magic permeate the environs, but every living (and many non-living) being contains within them a font of mystic power that can be used to conjure and manipulate.

For magi, either this font is more developed to the point that spellcasting is second nature, or they have sought out and refined what power they do have into a tool constantly at their command. While the layman relies on common rituals and low-intensity arrays, magi delve into old secrets and cutting edge research to create their own spells and push the limits of a power that already alters the universe.

There are many styles of spellcasting, many traditions, and with those come many names. Formal graduates of magic academies are often called wizards. Self-taught outliers take the name of sorcerer. Local spellcrafts can come to be called wise folk. Specialists can go by enchanter, conjurers, or simply spellworker.

The mage class can be used to represent…

• Academics seeking out magical power for knowledge.
• Natural talents who may or may not understand their powers.
• Local witches both benevolent or not.
• Characters with magical creatures in their lineage.
