The Dual Mage is slightly more versatile than the Classic Mage, because he has access to two Schools of Magic. However, he pays a price for this by not being quite as strong in either School.
When a player selects this Class for his character, he must also select two specific Schools of Magic. The character’s actual Class title, Casting Style (see p. 55) and Prime Stats will be based upon the primary School selected.
Favored Skills: Magecraft (all), Perception, Spellcasting (School 1), Spellcasting (School 2) and 3 additional skills of the player’s choice.
Prime Stats: varies according to primary School of Magic
Special Abilities:
-
The character must select a primary School of Magic from the Schools of Magic table. This will determine what his Prime Stats are going to be. [Minor Adept]
-
The character must select a secondary School of Magic from the Schools of Magic table. [Extra School of Magic]
-
When purchasing spells, the character uses the “Mn” CP costs instead of the “N” CP costs. [Minor Adept]
-
The character begins with a base of 10 Spell Points. [Minor Adept]
