Help Mage Magic-User Mage Basics Mage Default

Mages specialize in the casting of spells, offensive ones in
particular.  Mages have the highest-powered magic of any class,
and are the only classes able to use the draconian and enchanting
spell groups.  They are also very skilled at the use of magical
items, though their combat skills are the weakest of any class.

All mages begin with skill in the dagger. Any other weapon skills
must be purchased, at a very high rate.  The default skill selection
for mages is as follows:

skills:
lore              the lore of magical items

spell groups:
beguiling         spells that control the mind
combat            offensive magics, such as fireball and chill touch
detection         informational magics, such as detect magic and identify
enhancement       spells that maximize physical potential, such as haste
illusion          magics for concealing and deceiving
maladictions      a selection of curses fit for any witch
protective        defensive magics, ranging from armor to stone skin
transporation     spells for getting from here to there
