Mage

The Mage is pure intellect made manifest a scholar of the unseen who bends the fabric of reality through knowledge and preparation. Where others rely on steel or instinct, the Mage wields study, calculation, and arcane mastery. Mages do not stumble upon power they pursue it. Through careful research, stolen tomes, and relentless curiosity, they expand their spellbooks and reshape the world one incantation at a time.
