A mage is a spellcaster knowledged in the Arcane Magics. Mages have a wide range of combat/attack-spells and a lot utility spells as well. By being dedicated to the use of magic, they neglected training on physical skills. This makes them weak on the part of physical combat and choice of weapons. But of course, a well placed fireball works just as well most of the time, just keep watch on your amount of mana. A Mage's prime stat is intelligence.

Player Review by Celest

Low level mages are slightly difficult to play because of their low amounts of hp's. However, the mage is rewarded at higher levels with greater skills and spells. Mages are probably the most independent class above level 40 or so. Whatever level mages get soulsteal and energy drain; this is when a mage will become almost completely independent. Because of this ability to 'suck' the mana and hp's out of mobs around MA2, mages (in theory) need never stop to regen.

Mages also have VERY potent spell abilities and can dole out some serious damage. Also, mages get utility-type spells; such as recharge, portal, homage, shield, armor, invis, fly, locate object, etc. All of these traits make mages quite competent above level 40. OH, don't forget, mages also enchant weapons - a skill that makes you high level mage quite sought after.
