Runemage

Runemages are the class of Magick users in Dragon's Gate. Of all the classes, Runemages have the strongest Spells and are the most relient on those spells. They have a very low Combat and Combat progression and have no unique class skills. However, in exchange they have the largest spell list (41 spells total) and 200 charges for their runes (twice that of Clerics).

The class is broken down into five sub-classes, each with their own list of spells.

Types of Runemage

 * Air Mages primarily control the Air, Wind, and Lightning elements. Air Mages are equally balanced in utility, damage, and protection spells and recieve some of the best DR spells in the game.
 * Earth Mages primarily control the Earth and Stone elements. This is a defense focused subclass, sacrificing some offensive magick for exceptional utility and defensive magick. Earth Mages excel at ablative and binding spells.
 * Fire Mages primarily control the Fire and Fiery elements. This is an offense focused subclass, sacrificing some defensive and utility magic for the most potent damage dealing spells in the game.  Fire Mages excel at attack and storm spells.
 * Water Mages primarily control the Water and Ice elements. Water mages get a little bit of everything (the only spell they don't recieve is a white).  They deal good damage and have a wide variety of defensive and utility spells.
 * Non-Elemental Mages ("Gray Mages") primarily control the Magick and Acid elements. This is a utility focused subclass, sacrificing some direct combat magic for a variety of special effects.  Non-Elemental Mages excel at translocation, pulsers, blues, and whites.
