Overview

Ice/Lightning is a subclass of the original Magician class that specializes in dealing ice and lightning-based damage to enemies. This class is known for its high damage output, especially against enemies weak to ice and lightning.

The Mage can use a wand or staff and has access to a wide range of skills that allow them to deal both ice and lightning-based damage to enemies.

In addition to their offensive abilities, Ice/Lightning Mages also have a good balance between defense and mobility, making them a versatile choice for players who want a character that can handle a variety of combat situations.
