A Mage is someone who has learned the art of arcane manipulation, weaving the ether into powerful spells. In order to do this, Mages must not only be able to feel the ethereal flow around them but also understand, memorize, and manipulate the equations that can transform inert ether into forces that act on the physical world. In starting their practices, Mages require the study of scrolls which contain the equations to prime ether into a pre-transformation state which can be acted on in combat. Mages also begin to memorize their own spells, starting with the Ball of Light, which each Mage practices each night before bed, to more powerful Arcane Barriers and Missiles. Most Mages are trained in magic schools such as the Citadel of Arcadia, or else taught by private tutors.

Those who have a natural aptitude for magic that manifests without prior training are called Wild Mages. Wild Mages may spring up anywhere, and while they may have some understanding of the underlying arcane equations, they perform many of their spell through sheer force of will. For their memorized spells, instead of mastering the Arcane Barrier and Missile, Wild Mages make use of Wild Teleport and burst field of Arcane Blast.
