Mage Job
Mages are naturally imbued with the powers of the elements within their souls. Though still learning to hone these powers, they use their knowledge and intelligence of these elements to significantly impact the battlefield. Growing up west of the mystical Mt. Mjolnir, in Geffen, they are able to see magic all around them and use this to their advantage.In this guide we will look into:

Special Tips for your Mage
Fire Mage - This build excels when targeting monsters that are weak against the fire element. Hunt Earth element and Undead element monsters, or change their element by using Stone Curse.
Wind Mage - This build excels when targeting monsters that are weak against the wind element. Hunt water element monsters, or change their element by using Frost Diver.
Bolter Mage - This is a versatile job and highlights fast element switching using the basic elemental bolts. Switch between the Lightning bolt, Firebolt, and Cold bolt depending on your target's element.
For the Fire Mage, max out Firebolt, Fireball, and Zen Heart. Then allocate the rest of the points to any skill that you need.
For the Wind Mage, max out Lightning Bolt, Thunderstorm, and Zen Heart. Then allocate the rest of the points to any skill that you need.
For Bolter Mage, Max out the 3 elemental bolts (Lightning bolt, Fire Bolt, Cold Bolt) and Zen Heart.
Firebolt and Fireball deal Fire element magic damage, though Fireball deals AoE damage.
Lightning Bolt and Thunderstorm deal Wind element magic damage, though Thunderstorm deals AoE damage.
Cold bolt deals Water element magic damage to a single target.
Soul Strike deals ghost element magic damage, though the damage is really low.
Zen Heart increases your SP regeneration rate.
Firewall deals Fire element damage to those targets that stand next to it.
Frost Diver has a chance to freeze the target and change the element to Water.
Stone Curse has a chance to petrify the target and change the element to Earth.
For all builds - Put points on INT to increase the base Magic Attack, and DEX to decrease the casting time. You can add VIT for the later stage of the game.
