Mage

The Way of the Mage

The magi of Britannia are known for their powerful spells and mesmerizing enchantments. Gathering in Moonglow, near the Lycaeum, there they study the ancient scrolls and arcane knowledge of the land in their unending quest to further the virtue of Honesty. Despite their erudite nature and frail frame compared to many stouter citizens of Britannia, the mage makes a powerful travelling companion and a dangerous adversary.

With little need for heavy armour or weapons to protect them from the dangers of the land, most mages choose to cloak themselves in simple cloth armour, and carry either a staff, dagger, or sling, although some have been known to carry more resilient fare when danger is expected. Some have even been known to carry powerful magical enchantments woven into their equipment. The primary weapon of the mage, of course, is magic. The most powerful mages have been known to bind enchantments which can cause the very earth itself to move.

Mages are among the Older Professions.

In Ultima IX, the mage receives +5 Karma, Arms of the Magi, and a map of Moonglow as a starting bonus.
