The '''Battle Mage''' is a Mage who prefers the full-contact satisfaction of combat and attacks with close-range weapons and spells. However, being of diminutive stature, her magical powers manifest as [[Chasers]], magical spheres infused with various elemental properties that serve as a powerful buffer between her and the relentless barrage of enemy attacks. The Battle Mage is fast, possesses superhuman fighting skills and is the only Mage able to master weaponry. At level 48, the Battle Mage awakens as the Bellatrix.

=== Awakening as a Neo: Battle Mage===

 +
''The overseer of light and justice, the radiant and graceful goddess of war.''<br>
  
 +
''The one who is the elements of the universe itself, and the one who returns to the elements.''<br>
 +
''The one who is the formless energy that vanishes as she exists, one who is not bound to a single point.''<br>
 +
''Embrace the being, and you shall be 'Teana' itself.''<br>
  
−
==Basics Of Battle Mages==
+
''But do not misunderstand.''<br>
−
{{Main|Strategies}}
+
'''Teana' is the energy and the entity to return to the elements,''<br>
−
=== Standard Attacks ===
+
''one who merely desires the power of the elements will not be able to face Teana.''<br>
−
When a mage becomes a Battle Mage, she gains more aptitude for melee combat. Thus she adopts an entirely different string of attacks based on various skills.  
 
−
*The first attack resembles [[Dragon Fang]] and has the ability to deal a significantly greater amount of damage than an average attack.
 
−
*The second attack follows the [[Palm Blast]] motion and shoots the mage sprite forward.
 
−
*The third and final attack in the sequence is the same motion as [[Full Swing]]. This has a very large range and easily hits multiple enemies.
 
  
−
Holding the direction opposite the sprites front will keep her stationary through out the normal string of attacks. Holding the direction which the character is facing will greatly increase the amount of ground covered.  
+
''That is as though a river and an ocean cannot coexist,''<br>
 +
''as how could one ever contain a river in an ocean.''<br>
  
−
Even though the motions are changed to skill like motions, it is NOT the skill itself.
+
''However, do not forget this.''<br>
 +
''A river from a pond flows into the ocean.''<br>
 +
''Those same yet different things are both flows of life,''<br>
 +
''and they're someone's salvation, and give birth to another.''<br>
  
−
=== Miscellaneous Changes ===
+
''Do you see now.''<br>
−
Because of the drastic change in play style from a basic Mage (or other subclass) to a Battle Mage, multiple other alterations have occurred.
+
''Even gods are birthed from the primal universe''<br>
−
*Jump power is lowered so you will not jump as high. However, jump speed is increased.
+
''and so are the elements.''<br>
−
*When you miss with a dash attack, you will no longer fall down.
 
−
*Battle Mages have more defense compared to other mage jobs because of their Leather Armor Mastery and the ability to obtain over level 5 [[Mana Shield]] without equipment. This is good for defense in PVP, it makes leather armor feel like heavy armor.
 
−
*Although specialized in melee combat, [[Chasers]] provide the magic attack to back physical attack up, hence the name "Battle Mage"
 
−
**Normal attack with chasers will make very easy combos
 
−
**Larger chasers do higher damage and have a larger splash radius. Combos will make chasers grow.
 
−
*Battle Mages will have to be aware of the playstyle difference between partying and soloing. For instance, gathering monsters may not be the right goal in every party situation.
 
  
−
===Using Chasers===
+
''Only those who realize that can face the origin of Teana and the great primal presence,''<br>
 +
''the Primitive Presencia.''<br>
 +
<hr>
 +
The '''Astarte''' must first reach level 100.
 +
*Complete the True Awakening 1 Quest line and obtain Ability Intensification.
 +
{{AbilityBonus|subclass=Battle Mage}}
  
−
The glowing orbs that follow a Battle Mage are very powerful and immensely useful tools, however their use can be a bit confusing and daunting to newcomers to the class. Chasers are normally used for one of 3 things:
+
*Complete the True Awakening 2 Quest line.
−
*Damage
 
−
*Continuing Combos
 
−
*Buffs/Debuffs
 
−
The most basic use of a Chaser is obviously damage. They are little exploding orbs of magic, so why not use them as such?
 
−
Second main use is Continuation of combos. Appropriate timing can cause combos to literally last forever.
 
−
A more obscure use for them is the buffs they give. Each element increases a stat on the battle mage and can really give an edge in a fight.
 
  
−
The goal of any Battle Mage should be to use chasers to the greatest proficiency they can. The most difficult use to master is continuing combos indefinitely as it requires accurate timing where as the other 2 categories are not reliant on acute windows of time.

−
*Battle Mages' first attack in the normal sequence can deal 8 to 10 times its regular damage at a very low chance. Likely an intended feature, it is speculated to be an homage to the Wizard from D&D.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
 +
* The Battle Mage's theme could be based around a [https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Battlemage_(5e_Class) DnD Archetype], while her motif involves the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_girl Magical girl] genre that is quite popular in Japanese fantasy media such as anime, video games, manga and light-novels.
 +
**A secondary theme can be based around the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokusatsu Tokusatsu genre], with notable examples such as ''Super Sentai'', or ''Sailor Moon'' that involves transforming into an alter ego for battle.
 +
* Her Second Awakening appearance and gameplay with a [[Spear]], looks nearly identical to [https://wiki.puella-magi.net/Kyoko_Sakura Kyoko Sakura] from the 2011 anime, ''Puella Magi Madoka Magica''.

“ Magicians these days are full of only theories. To survive in this rough world, magic for the purpose of fighting is what's needed. ”

Since Niu succeeded in materializing the Chasers, a great many young mages have chosen the path of the Battle Mage. While learning how to materialize the Chasers, they also disciplined their bodies, practicing various close-quarter-combat skills, and combined them with their magic to physically achieve superhuman power in combat. During the First Pandemonium Meeting in which the representatives of Pandemonium's famous organizations held a contest of strength to determine their influence over Pandemonium, the fourteen-year-old Niu defeated all the other famous mages of Pandemonium and showcased the power of the Battle Mage before she was defeated by Iris.

The Battle Mage is a Mage who prefers the full-contact satisfaction of combat and attacks with close-range weapons and spells. However, being of diminutive stature, her magical powers manifest as Chasers, magical spheres infused with various elemental properties that serve as a powerful buffer between her and the relentless barrage of enemy attacks. The Battle Mage is fast, possesses superhuman fighting skills and is the only Mage with weapon mastery skills.

Awakening as a Bellatrix

A long time ago, far earlier than when Pandemonium separated from the planet Terra, in a distant mythological period, it is said that the ancestors of Terra had quite a different appearance. These ancestors, who possessed physical abilities quite different from the people of Pandemonium today, used an unknown mysterious power. The most experienced amongst these practitioners were said to emit a golden ray from their bodies.

Due to their physical appearance, they were called Teana, based on the goddess of light and justice found in ancient mythological writings. Some Pandemonians dismiss the Teana to be a made up fairy tale, for the likes of children and madmen… however there are still those who maintain that one does indeed exist, and has been seen walking among us in reality. The first witness account occurred one year following the conflict between the Guardians, which was responsible for the creation of the first Battle Mage, and the Kashipa.

The fabled Teana is known to call herself Bellatrix.

As suggested in myths, this being emanates a golden ray and has incredible powers that she uses to help the weak and punish the wicked. With the discovery of this new entity, Battle Mages in Arad began to study her power, and discover the focal point of her strength: the Chaser. They began to understand the power of the Chaser, and realize how it can be better utilized to harness a more ultimate power. An occult belief began to spread, a belief that one who discovers the ultimate truth will harness the power of Teana and become as powerful as Bellatrix.

Will they become as powerful as the golden goddess of myth? The Battle Mages in Arad have become filled with anticipation…

“With this power... I will return peace to Pandemonium!”

- Niu the Chaser to Pai, her companion.

The Battle Mage must first reach level 50.

2nd Awakening as an Astarte

The Golden light rises from below. What is the Sage's wisdom? What are death Chasers? What is Teana?

A forgotten legend... let us reveal the secret history that was not even recorded in the Genesis.

During the era of the legend where magic was yet to be discovered, ancient science created 12 "Teanas". Teanas glowed in gold and contained brilliant power within their bodies. All people of the Terra worshiped them and wanted to become like them. Hence, scientists focused on research.

"Can Humans become like Teanas?"

"What if we inserted the mysterious power that created Teanas to humans?"

It didn't seem impossible. However, the power that created Teanas could no longer be found. With no other choice, they resorted to the best alternative. A weaker power in the universe called "Elements." The elements themselves did not contain much power but if condensed together, they can create such immense power that it rivals the power of the mysterious power. Believing this, they continued to research.

The results were successful. They succeeded in creating a power equal to the mysterious power and inserted into the bodies of humans. And those inserted with the power of elements had the golden aura and powerful strength just like the Teanas. However, due to not understanding the nature of the elements, they could not stop the power from destroying their bodies.

This is the secret of Teana. The origin of Chasers and the discovery of elements. Why did I mention such a boring story from the past? Because the power more condensed than chasers, and the power that created ancient Teanas reappeared. Many say that the power appeared due to the recent series of transference that occurred in Arad, but nobody knows if this is true. But really, it isn't important where the power came from. What matters is that it is here, in front of us. My body shivers. The evil that seeps out from this power is terrifying. But the excitement neutralizes the fear. Can I claim this great power as my own? Whether I fail or succeed doesn't matter anymore. It is because I know that I was born for this challenge.

- A Female Warrior named Bellatrix

The Bellatrix must reach first reach level 75.

Awakening as a Neo: Battle Mage

She was there, in the primal world of darkness and light, when the good and evil were not clear.
The overseer of light and justice, the radiant and graceful goddess of war.

The one who is the elements of the universe itself, and the one who returns to the elements.
The one who is the formless energy that vanishes as she exists, one who is not bound to a single point.
Embrace the being, and you shall be 'Teana' itself.

But do not misunderstand.
'Teana' is the energy and the entity to return to the elements,
one who merely desires the power of the elements will not be able to face Teana.

That is as though a river and an ocean cannot coexist,
as how could one ever contain a river in an ocean.

However, do not forget this.
A river from a pond flows into the ocean.
Those same yet different things are both flows of life,
and they're someone's salvation, and give birth to another.

Do you see now.
Even gods are birthed from the primal universe
and so are the elements.

Only those who realize that can face the origin of Teana and the great primal presence,
the Primitive Presencia.

The Astarte must first reach level 100.

Trivia

Subclass Inspiration

  • The Battle Mage's theme could be based around a DnD Archetype, while her motif involves the Magical girl genre that is quite popular in Japanese fantasy media such as anime, video games, manga and light-novels.
    • A secondary theme can be based around the Tokusatsu genre, with notable examples such as Super Sentai, or Sailor Moon that involves transforming into an alter ego for battle.
  • Her Second Awakening appearance and gameplay with a Spear, looks nearly identical to Kyoko Sakura from the 2011 anime, Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
  • The weapon that the Battle Mage wields in her subclass image is called the Demon Trooper Spear, an unavailable 1st Chronicle Spear.

Titles

  • Her First Global Awakening Bellatrix, is the feminine form of bellator, the Latin word for warrior.
  • The Second Awakening Astarte, is the Hellenized name of Ishtar, a Mesopotamian Goddess of War.
