Fire Mage

**Fire Mage** is a class in Broken Ranks.

Fire always fascinated humanity. It's one of the elements, a building block of the universe. Those who can control it gain immense power. Many mages succumbed to this temptation and became Fire Mages. Mastering the element in the volcanic, ash-covered areas of Taern, Fire Mages are experts in casting powerful, offensive fire spells. As lords of the element of fire, Fire Mages can deal significant and extensive damage.

###     Burning

Fire Mages fight not only from afar. This spell allows them to touch their opponents to set them aflame, dealing damage over time. In addition to that, the glow produced by the flames blinds the opponent, decreasing their ranged and mental accuracy, and increasing vulnerability to fire attacks.

###      Incantation

A meditational technique of Fire Mages. They chant mantras that change the flow of magical energies and enhance their combat abilities. First of all, it makes Fire Mages more battle-effective.

The favorite spell of every Fire Mage. It summons a gigantic, fiery ball that turns anyone who stands in its way to ashes.

###      Fire Shield
