Mages' Guild[]
The quintessential magic profession in Grimgar, they draw a magic diagram in mid-air that releases spells. A spell can be sped up or slowed down depending on a mage’s experience and skill. Preventing or distracting a Mage from finishing the diagram cancels the spell.
The Mage's Guild is located in East Town, which is a high end residential area, and is in an elegant mansion with white walls.
Mages have no close combat ability and thus they typically stay in the back of parties where it's much safer. An excessive casting of spells drains a Mage's stamina and energy.
While all Mages can cast very basic spells, more experienced Mages use the power of magical beings called elementals. The elements include Arve, the magic of fire; Kanon the magic of ice; Falz the magic of lightning; and Darsh, the magic of shadow. Mages can cast improved versions of the spells they know by adding el to the incantation as shown with Shadow Echo and Shadow Mist which are the improved versions of Shadow Beat and Sleepy Shade. Elementals do not like metals, which is why Mages go unarmed and unarmored. There is a process called Elemental Coating that allows a Mage to use coated metal objects and still cast spells. It is very expensive.
Due to Shihoru using Darsh spells, the majority of magic currently known focuses on that branch. The majority of Darsh spells confuse or stun enemies rather than directly damage them. It’s main purpose is to support parties in fights. Darsh spells seem to have a reduced effect on undead opponents.
According to Gohho, there is a limited number of spells that the Mage's Guild will or can teach. After that, a mage must study and experiment to discover new spells and ways to use them.
