In this bestiary post, we’ll look at the arcane masters of the universe: the Mages. Filled with mysterious knowledge that no man should know, these magical scholars can be powerful allies and dangerous enemies. They can bend the universe to their whim, and reshape reality as they see fit.

Perk: Prestigidation: The GM can spend one of his Sigils for the scene so that the Mage can alter and shape reality in one small, but meaningful, way.
Quirk: Fel-Magic: Whenever the Mage fails a Mental Check to cast a spell or use a supernatural power, he becomes corrupted by the dark powers. This includes a Mental Wound as well as a permanent aesthetic change equal in severity to the Mental Wound suffered.
In terms of equipment, the Mage doesn’t wear any armour as he trusts his arcane arts to protect him (and some Mages feel that armour gets in the way of using their magical abilities). For weapons, he carries with him his trusty Staff (a two-handed Medium Melee Weapon, -10 to hit, +20 damage) as well as his Magic Wand (a Medium Ranged Weapon with Medium Damage, +20 damage). The Wand requires no ammunition as it is the Mage’s raw willpower which is flung at the enemy.
And there you have it, the Mage is all his magical majesty. Next time on the bestiary we will look at an NPC you will be able to find exploring the wilderness.
