Balance

• "Immob Mage"
  • Used to cast immobilize on mobs while your alts or friends whack away at them.
  • Only works on select mobs. Some mobs require Nephandi spelldowns to make it land.

Neutral Align Required!

Countermagick

• "CM Mage"
  • The inviola spell makes you immune ALL magic (including heal potions).
  • Used against magic-attacking mobs. Short lived spell though, only works on select mobs.

Destruction

• "Paradox (Dox) Mage"
  • Used as a Magic hitter, paradox is a good attack and lands on tons of things.

Quill

• "Quil Mage"
  • Creates spellbooks that can cast 3x spells (quantum spike) when recited.
  • 3x books are heavy though, and take time and effort to scribe and haul.

transfixion          super trance

Defense

Prowess

I know nothing about prowess mages.

avoid                increased dodge/parry
skirmish             increased second/third attack

Murder

Pkill Only!!!

• "Arc Mage"
• Alternative Usage:
  • Often used to help kill pf mobs if pf characters are struggling with something.
  • Controversial, often seen as a cheap or cheat tactic.

arc lightning        lightning attack
blood armor          -AC
primal instincts     increased dodge/parry
