Mage

Focus on ambient protection. The mage is capable of covering large swaths of the battlefield in zones of protection, shield walls and fields which can reduce damage dealt. While some of their abilities may seem to be weaker, their ability to cover so many targets balances it out.

Starting Class Features

Spell Casting

As a Spellcaster, you have the ability to access the arcane arts. You can cast spells, using spell slots.

You begin at level 1 with 3 spell slots. When you gain a spell slot, you must permanently assign the spell slot to a spell category. Every time you advance a level, you earn 3 additional spell slots.

At each new level, you learn 2 new spells of your choice. Once you have learned a spell this way, you know it forever, unless an ability or effect causes or allows you to unlearn it.

You have access to the Spellcasting Special Action System.

Contained Magic

When casting a spell with an area of effect, the area listed on the spell becomes the maximum area, and you can choose to make the area of effect smaller, however the shape of the area must remain the same.

At 10th level, you can increase the maximum size of this area up to 1.5x the size listed on the spell. At 20th level, you can increate the area of effect up to 2x the size listed.
