Background

Aspiring field mages who wish to learn the arts of the evocation of Helios are fielded in battle, suffering status as outcasts even as they are feared and respected. Field mages are usually located just behind the phalanxes of the front line soldiers and spear casters, providing a range of explosive firepower to help devastate enemy lines.
