Editing Mages

'''Mages''' are [[Classes]] pertaining to [[Magic]].  

== Overview ==
{{quote
|quote=''"[Mages] in general? Pah. Anyone can obtain the class or variations thereof, but they often stagnate and seldom reach Level 20. Indeed, the lack of centralized education between nations has given rise to lesser variations upon the basic [Mage] class. [Hedge Wizards], [Witch Doctors], the dubiously qualified [Spellswords], [Druids]…well I suppose [Druids] are an exception to the rule, and of course let us reserve most of our disdain for the so-called [Sorcerer]…"''
|speaker=[[Pisces Jealnet]]'s commentary on [Mages]{{ref|1.45}}
}}[Mages] are practitioners who cast spells from their internal reserves of mana. [Mage] potential is largely determined by talent and innate magical potential. 

As taught by Wistram and [[Eldavin]],<ref name=":0">{{VERef|Chapter 8.12 T}}</ref> the four basic [Mage] techniques are as follows:

* Foundation
** Basic magical theory and understanding of magic, as well as building up internal reserves of mana
* Acquisition
** Learning spells
* Materialization
** Performing spells, or putting magic into objects, such as a spell tome or artifact
* Theorization
** Creating new magic, or pushing past limits

[Mages] are as powerful as current magical knowledge permits, with higher levels usually enabling higher-tier casting. But anyone with magical potential can cast any tier of magic with practice and knowledge, in theory.<ref>{{VERef|10.30 GGMG}}</ref> Generally, [Mages] have much more difficulty leveling than other classes. While a [Warrior] must simply challenge ever-greater foes in order to level, even Archmages of Wistram have a hard time leveling as [Mages] must not only study, but practice magic of great power.<ref name=":7.09 K">[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/02/23/7-09-k/ Chapter 7.09 K]</ref> This has become even more difficult in the present day, as Archmage [[Zelkyr Amerwing|Zelkyr's]] test has blocked access to the higher floors of Wistram, where greater magic exists.  

Typically, [Mages] memorize a limited number of spells in their mind, save for those they obtained from levelling up and can cast at any time. Without regular practice, it's possible for them to forget spells.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/12/06/9-69-pt-1/ Chapter 9.69 H (Pt. 1)]</ref> While [Mages] can theoretically learn and cast any magic by understanding the elements and basics of magical theory, most [Mages] prefer to rely on boxed spells obtained from the system of levelling, as they are less mana-intensive.<ref name=":0" /> Said spells are generally used without significant modification due to the combination of the ease of casting that said lack of modification provides, and most mages not knowing significant modification is possible, For instance, when Pisces tried casting [Bone Dart] from the ground up, the Tier 1 spell was more intricate than usual and took him two minutes to re-configure.<ref>{{VERef|Chapter 9.49}}</ref> Consequently, most modern [Mages] learn spells akin to copying a template, without understanding how the spell actually works, only that it does. This method of learning is called Explorer's Magic, as it is similar to how adventurers taught themselves magic by delving for spell books and scrolls, with the gaps in knowledge being filled in by [[Grand Design of Isthekenous|other rules]].  
== Abilities ==
[Mages] use mana to power their spells. They can refuel their internal reserves by passively absorbing the ambient mana in their surroundings, more actively through meditation, or mana potions. 

[Mages] seem to be more resistant to several kinds of magic, and can either shrug off certain spells or recover quicker than non-Mage classes - this holds especially true for mind-affecting spells<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/08/26/3-07-h/ Chapter 3.07 H]</ref> and possibly seeing through illusions. Physical attacks however need to be warded off, even when caused by magical objects. 

== Specialization==
When a [Mage] advances into a unique class such as [Necromancer], [Cryomancer], and so on, they focus on that specific class. To pursue other types of magic, they must begin with the [Mage] class again, starting from Level 1.<ref name=":4.27 H">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/04/10/4-27-h/ Chapter 4.27 H]</ref>

==Spellcaster Variations==
A [Mage] or [Magus] is commonly understood to be a general practitioner of magic. If they don't specialize, they may gain the class [High Mage] and [Grand Mage] eventually, possibly around Levels 30-40 and 40-50, respectively. It seems as if the term "Magus" is mostly used among [[Drakes]] and Dragons, although it also carries its own connotations towards academia or even royalty. 

By contrast, there are [Wizards], who would be considered more scholarly and wield magics in the form of prepared spells or items. It would be easiest to understand them as ''[Mages] who rely on wands'', whereas a [Mage] may choose to use an artifact or not as the situation demands.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/06/14/7-29-b/ Chapter 7.29 B]</ref> One is a general class, the other is specific, even cumbersome to obtain. 

[Shamans] get their magic from their community's collective power rather than their own innate potential, as well as from traditions and ideas. This also means it cannot be conventionally suppressed, like with anti-magic zones, but instead by shaking the community's will. Most species lean either towards arcane magic like [Mages] or towards shamanic magic, with the only species having an equitable mix of the two being [[Humans]] (who typically lean towards one depending on the civilization), [[Centaurs]], [[Garuda]], and (formerly) [[Gnolls]].<ref name=":1" /> [[Goblins]] are also capable in both domains, but lack access to the training necessary for advanced arcane magic, while the [[Antinium]] lack much magic in either sphere as of yet.   

Then there are [Witches], whose magic is more specialized — a blend of alchemy and spellcraft — and are defined by their craft, meaning the type of magic they choose to practice. They rely on rituals and incantations to gather emotions or superstitions to power their spells.<ref>[[Chapter 6.41 E]]</ref> Overall, [Witches] are generally considered weaker in purely magical terms to a [Mage] of the same level.<ref name=":Interlude-Blackmage">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/11/01/interlude-blackmage/ Interlude-Blackmage]</ref> 

As opposed to [Mages] who must study their spells, [Sorcerers] are natural spellcasters who do the equivalent of ad-libbing spells. They design their magic on the fly and manifest it with visualization and force of will. The advantage is that they don't have to spend as much time to learn their spells by reading spellbooks, though one of the downsides is that they are unable to cast big spells unless they've reached a high level.<ref name=":1.03 D">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/03/03/1-03-d/ Chapter 1.03 D]</ref> 

Other classes mentioned are [Warlocks], which deal with spirits and summoning; [Druids], who are champions of nature and gains spells as a byproduct of their class;
