Darkened Sage – Concept class

Yes this sounds like a no thought just a cool name class, just bare with me.

Lore Synopsis – A group formed when a slight disagreement with the Zaishen Order caused them to be outcast. The belief in “if you overwhelm your enemy in power and number, survival is not the issue”. Leaders of the Zaishen became very worried when the power corruption merged with the popularity with the group, many started to believe in the dark arts which would later consume those of whom who one, could not handle them, and two when they left themselves defenseless as a foe came to them. Slaughter became a notion to man and beast, magic which has been mastered by many for protection was thrown out in pursuit of more power. Then, and only then did the decree go out to abolish the rogue mages once and for all. Thought of more of a war than treason those involved in the massacre of the darkened sages were never punished… yet at least. Some managed to escape, through enchantments that were unknown to anyone outside the inner circle of mages. In fear, the few remaining learned from Masters of many new arts, from mesmerism to elemental powers, even a bit of necrotic arts, the sage managed to bulk up (very slightly) although this lead to a weaker offense. A new set of spells are currently being taught, magically reducing their defense to increase the surge of power, or to regenerate energy, all which come at a cost. The group still seeks vengeance on the souls of those who banished them so long ago.

Armor is a new concept to the game as well, a base level of 40, which under effects of skills can go higher or lower, really this class aims in lowering their defense for power.

Pictures of an idea of what it “could” looks like:

Idea for the book

An idea for the wand.

Now here are the attributes. Now these are always subject to change of course.

Power Corruption(primary)- For each rank in Power Corruption your spells cause 1% more damage, and your spells in shadow Aura’s and Graver Digger Bonds that effect you or an ally last .5% longer for each rank in Power Corruption. Whenever you cast a spell you gain 1energy for every 7 ranks in Power Corruption.

Dark Surges-Increasing this attribute increases your power for each spell linked to this attribute, as well as lessens the severity of the drawbacks of the spells.

Shadow Auras- Increasing this attribute increases the effectiveness of enchantments and Dark Aura’s which add effects to you and your allies.

Grave Digger Bonds – Increasing this attribute increases the power of spells linked to Grave Digger Bonds.

Ok, now you have them, now I’ll tell you more about them.

Power Corruption(primary)- This is your primary. Energy management, and most the power to boost your other attributes, This way the primary has a use, while synergy can be achieved, it offers a different kind of synergy. This line also contains a large amount of nice skills.

Dark Surges – This is a line focusing almost entirely of damage spells, from single targets to multi-target, you can do it.

Shadow Auras- This basically is a line to help not only you, but your allies as well. Usually it will trade armor to deal more damage, almost like an order’s type of line, but really quite different.

Grave Differ Bonds- If you read my little section of lore (hope you did ^_^) The skills deal with the bit deathly skills learned. From putting it on your allies minions, or your own, these offer a lot to the undead, or the soon to be undead, i.e. you if you fall asleep as the switch.
