Revision 1

The Mage is one of the four classes available in Farever's Early Access. It is the game's ranged spellcaster, trading frontline durability for the ability to deal damage from a distance. If you prefer controlling fights with magic rather than wading into melee, the Mage is the class for you. See Classes for how it stacks up against the others.

Resource: Spark and Spark Flows

The Mage's unique mechanic revolves around Spark. Mages use their signature abilities to generate Spark Flows, which empower their spells. Spark regenerates over time, and it builds back faster when you are out of combat, so positioning and pacing matter. One confirmed Mage ability is Spark Beam, which can be enhanced through a mastery called Lightning Infusion. Building and spending Spark to keep your spells empowered is central to playing the class effectively.

Playstyle and Weapons

The Mage plays as a ranged caster, leaning on spell selection and timing rather than raw melee pressure. Mages commonly use a staff to enhance their efficiency. As with every class, the Mage's skills come from both its class and its equipped weapons, and the same weapon feels different on a Mage because the class's mechanics reshape how it behaves. See Weapons and the Arsenal for weapons and the Arsenal system, and Combat System for how spells, dodging, and cooldown management come together.

Progression

The Mage has its own Talent Tree built around how the class is played. As you level, you refine the class through passives, skill choices, talents, and Masteries such as Lightning Infusion that modify your class skills to match your preferred style. See Attributes and Progression for the full progression details.
