Spending much of their time in the pursuit of arcane wisdom, mages have little time for physical endeavors. They tend to be poor fighters with little knowledge of weaponry. However, they command powerful and dangerous energies with only a few simple gestures and mystical words.
Spells are the tools, weapons, and armor of a mage. He is weak in a toe-to-toe fight, but when prepared he can strike down a foe from a distance, vanish in an instant or invade the mind of an enemy and take control of his thoughts and actions.
No secrets are safe from a mage and no fortress secure. A mage's quest for knowledge and power often leads them into realms where no mortal was meant to go.
