Wizards spend their lives in the arcane wisdom, leaving little time for physical activities. They tend to be hopelessly unskilled in the art of combat, but thier magic is the most powerful of any in the realms. Mages are most effective at a distance when fighting, and make an excellent, if not necessary, addition to any adventuring group. Since armor tends to restrict thier somatic gestures, mages may not wear anything but the least protective of armors. Mages can improve their spells by using the practice command.
