Battle Mage

Battlemages are a special reclass only available to mages of the Conclave. The battlemage of the Conclave is the first line of defense for the Citadel of Magic. First learned in ages before history, the knowledge was recently brought back from the past and re-taught to the Conclave by a mage travelling through time. They have since become some of the toughest magi in throughout the realm, having perfected magic that lets them absorb incredible amounts of punishment before falling to death. On the battlefield, they are able to take the brunt of the attack while having the ability to control their fearsome creations in both offensive and defensive attack.
