Bladesinger

The Bladesinger is an elite fighter, skillfully combining magic and might to defeat his foes, and the foes of all elves. The Bladesinger is a rarely multi-classed mixture of Mage and Warrior, effective using his spells to augment his swordarm.

Bladesingers have more magical power than do pure warriors, but not quite as much as mages. Bladesingers cast spells at close to their actual experience level, and don't suffer the CP costs that warriors do when selecting spells for themselves. Bladesingers are proficient in many skills that pure mages cannot learn, such as disarm and bash. However, Bladesingers are restricted to the use of daggers and swords in their adventuring careers. Their dedication to both combat and magic forces them to use a narrow range of weapons, and being that elves have a natural affinity to swordfighting, the Bladesingers drift towards short and long swords. Bladesingers also have the unique ability to use a dance-like combat style known as the Bladesong. The Bladesong has been handed down from elven generation to generation, and is a graceful, deceptive combat style that only elves, with their natural agility, can master.
