Class: Wizard

Class overview

Typicaly : Scholars of the arcane, eccentric hermits, ambitious apprentices, ex-students of the Archive, or private disciples of powerful mages.
Abilities : Wizards wield vast spellcasting potential, specializing in elemental destruction, protective wards, and versatile rituals. Unlike other casters, their strength lies in preparation and study, allowing them to adapt their spellbook to many situations.
Advancement : Veteran Wizards grow into masters of schools of magic, renowned sages, or feared archmages. Some continue their research in the Archive’s depths, while others take their own disciple.
Aptitudes : High insight and aura, but low strength and constitution.
Weapons and Armour : Light weapons and armor only, as they prefer to rely on their spellcasting.

7. Sculpt Spells
   Your control over magic is so precise that you can bend destructive forces around others. Flames curl away, lightning arcs harmlessly past, and blasts of frost leave safe pockets in their wake. To you, even chaos obeys careful design.

4. Innate Counterspelling
