Mage (1.2) Adventurer Class

Mages (sometimes called Wizards or Sorcerers) can be found in every culture. Exalted in some cultures such as the Emerald Folk and Elvish and feared in other cultures such as the Remans.

Playing the Mage

The Mage has some of the most powerful offensive magical abilities in the Dawn Lands LARP game. The Mage cannot wear armor but makes up for it in offensive power. If you play a Mage it is best to remain in the rear of the battlefield and seek protection from others as you unleash your offensive magic. You are able to use Arcane scrolls which also increase your power.
