Damage
Mage
Magi are wizards of immense knowledge and skill. Their obvious physical frailty is deceptive, for they can call upon the cosmic energies of the Twisting Nether. Rarely do magi engage in melee combat. Instead, they prefer to attack from a distance, hurling powerful bolts of frost and flame at their unsuspecting enemies.
Specializations

Racial abilities and the races that may take each class come from the installed Forever beta client, read from its CharBaseInfo table and the racial skill lines.
