Missile Mage

Missile Mages are rare, indeed. Wizards who choose this path revel in the ability to utilize magical force as a tool against the enemies of their lands, and most achieve a pinnacle mastery of a simple spell: Magic Missile. Often empowering force spells they cast and learning new and powerful methods for employing these force spells, the Missile Mage is trained for warfare, and they diligently learn battle spells and drill with the tactical application of their spells as often as they can. This enables them to perform feats the like of which other spellcasters simply cannot, such as conjuring a mobile Arcane Hand of force which can, itself cast Magic Missile. When empowered to their fullest, they assume control of battlefields more easily than many warmages, utilizing Forcecages, Walls of Force, and damaging force attack spells and magical missile barrages to completely dominate a warzone.
