Mage

The Mage are the spellcasters who delve into the arcane knowledge. Much of this knowledge comes from various sources: some came from years of study, some came from apprenticeships, some game from directly consuming pure magic, some came from transfers of knowledge from one caster to another. Regardless, mages are spellcasters with quite a large amount of power, with the most powerful holding the title Archmage.
