9.0.3.2 THE MAGE ARCHETYPE
Also only found in cities, mages study elemental magics and consider
themselves to be the purist form of spell casters. Each city's nexus of power
is connected to a specific elemental plane, and offers a unique path for
the elemental mage to take. Once they take their specialization, their
powers can extend over vast tracts of land, making them extraordinarily
powerful. Those who study Elemental magic must take the High Magic
specialization in the common magic skill. One secondary skill must be
illusions, and the other secondary skill is usually a choice determined by
the guild.
