Mage (ES: Mago)

Official in-game description· character creation

Magi are wizards of immense knowledge and skill. Their obvious physical frailty is deceptive, for they can call upon the cosmic energies of the Twisting Nether. Rarely do magi engage in melee combat. Instead, they prefer to attack from a distance, hurling powerful bolts of frost and flame at their unsuspecting enemies.

“Magi” is the plural of mage that Blizzard uses in the game’s lore.
