Mage
A caster of fire, frost and arcane. Builds Arcane Charges to unleash, freezes foes and blasts whole packs.
Identity
Arcane Charges: damaging spells build charges (max 4, lost 10 s after the last one); each held charge adds 5% damage, and Arcane Barrage spends them all. Shatter: frozen (rooted) enemies take 30% more damage from the Mage.

Skills
Skills unlock by level; you choose which go on the 8-slot action bar. Mana cost and cooldown are base values (talents change some). Movement lock: in the 3D game a skill stops you for its animation (so nothing slides); movement and escape skills don't stop you, and some end a running lock.
