Capacity:
Typical Color: Red, Orange Red
Specialists: Macromage.
Macromages are those who manipulate non-magic matter with great strength and breadth. They are even capable of reshaping a battlefield with their magic if their fuel is great enough and they are skilled enough.
The Capacity branch is flashy and many combat mages specialize in it so that they can damage living targets. Seekers do not need to use this branch because Blightbeasts are pseudo-life, but many combat mages come from service in the military or only take Seeker contracts in their off time to make a living, and therefore these mages use the magic they are most familiar with, even if it is less efficient.
