Having practised the arts of dark magic for ages, mages are masters of the elements. They summon fire out of thin air, scorching enemies in their path, freeze them with ice spells, and scatter them with the element of wind. A skilled mage has many tricks up their sleeve, making them cunning and deadly opponents.

Like priests, mages draw their power from mana, a pool of magic energy that regenerates over time, which allows you to protect yourself from damage, while using strong elemental spells against on your foes.

Elements!

Refer to the Elemental Property table if needed.

Mages is to be able to use different elements, which are: Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth; with the ability to use four different elements, they are able to take advantage of their targets' elemental characteristic. This means they are able to do more damage against a certain element type monster. This is the main reason why Mage is on DPS (damage per second) in boss fights because of their massive damage boost from elements; therefore, a mage have to be equipped with a certain element of skills.

Ex. You use Fire Bolt on Vilefang, which is Earth 1. Referring to the Elemental Property table, Fire is effective against Earth (and some other elements).

However, because a mage uses different elements, she or he is susceptible to doing less damage than normal if their element is not so effective against the target.

Ex. You use Fire bolt on a glacial slime, which is Water 3. Referring to the Elemental Property table, fire does less damage than normal against water (and some other elements).

Another bad thing of the use of elements is that the mage has to constantly reset their skills to fit the area they're fighting in. Most areas in Paw'd tend to have monsters that are a specific element. In Saliko, a mage would be using a Fire set because the denizens have a characteristic of Earth. Moving into the area of Ashaya will encourage the mage to use a Wind set because the denizens there have a characteristic of Water. This costs the mage some gold each time they have to move to one area to another. It is encouraged to buy another skill set from ___(insert name)_____, saving gold and time for the mage traveling back to town.
