Ideal for players who enjoy powerful ranged damage and skilled timing.''”</div>

Mages channel elemental forces, specializing in destructive spells cast from a distance. Ideal for players who prefer ranged combat, the Mage excels at overwhelming enemies with powerful area-of-effect attacks and precise elemental strikes.  

The class emphasizes timing and positioning, as spellcasting requires careful management of cast times and mana. Though physically fragile, Mages make up for it with high burst damage and battlefield control, shaping the flow of combat with fire, ice, lightning, and earth magic.  

As a Base Class, the Mage offers players a foundation in ranged magical combat, rewarding those who value strategic play and the thrill of unleashing devastating spells.
