Light mages

Light is a catch-all element, offering a good mix of both utility and high damage options with relatively low mana costs, though lacking in powerful area-of-effect skills and having a notable weakness against enemies who don’t rely on sight.

Passives

  • Unlock : Level 1

You gain an additional 2% natural mana regeneration1 while standing in sunlight.

Flash-Proof

Being a light mage, you are used to conditions that would usually blind you, giving you immunity to blinding effects.

Mana Lensing

  2. A creature that expects the skill will always simply cover their eyes as to not get blinded. ↩

  3. This skill would deal bonus damage to a chaotic neutral target if you were lawful neutral, or bonus damage to a chaotic evil target if you were lawful good. This skill deals bonus damage to true neutral targets if you are also true neutral. ↩
