			RPing a Warmage.

			As with any guild...you can do whatever the heck you want with your character. If you want to be a bunny-slipper wearing necromancer that only hunts barghests by the full light of Katamba...well more power to you.

			Almost any guild can be described as a 'protector' but their directions vary widely. A Ranger is a protector of nature, an Empath is a protector a life, a Cleric...souls and so on. Even a Necromancer can be said to be a protector of sentient self-reliance. A Warmage is a protector of the balance of the elements within the plane they reside. Duty, Honor, Death means something entirely different than just a Paladin with some flashy spells.

			A Ranger might die trying to extinguish a forest fire that a Warmage started. Both are protecting what they feel needs to be protected but it would still place them at odds.

			As such, it's popular for Warmages to display affinities for certain elements as if they themselves are directly impacting the balance of a certain element.

			How these affinities are expressed through RP is also varied. Some choose a fatalistic approach. "If I CAN burn it, I SHOULD burn it." and some choose a more socially-friendly "I will only use the earth to directly impact the things around me."

			Warmages are not directly tied with the stability and order of Kermoria but through their works they preserve the balance of elements that allow life to exist. That isn't to say that Warmages cannot have political viewpoint and act on them accordingly. At it's root, elementalism has no political viewpoint but it can be made to serve the caster's. If that same forest needs to be burned down, or ice is out of balance, why shouldn't it be used to also decimate an army of Elpazi?

			So, as an archetype Warmage would seek to maintain the balance, a Warmage 'villain' would either seek to unbalance it or tip the balance in their favor...or simply not care what effect their actions had.

	Some advice on weapon selection: Pick weapons that compliment each other. If you're going to use a bow or a crossbow, train offhand and a thrown weapon (light thrown is easiest to train but it also doesn't hit very hard unless you have the coin for an expensive weapon).

	Get your weapons, get a targeted shield from the armory. A lot of people will tell you to start mixing armors this early on. I've found this to be detrimental with the recent changes to combat and critters. You'll find yourself stymied looking for an at-level creature that you can handle with more than light hinderance. That said, light armor and chain armor are ~~you~~ best bets to begin with. You can mix them until you find the creatures are becoming to difficult or you can set up a rotation of armors (this is also problematic as you wont have a lot of carrying capacity with your stats).

	The rule for starting out is pretty straightforward. Train strength and stamina until you have light or no encumbrance from your items. What is left should go into bumping anything below 10 to 10. After that, raise discipline with the remainder. Leave charisma alone for now, it's a very useful stat, just not for you at the moment.		The rule for starting out is pretty straightforward.

Louts outside the east gate of Crossing drop boxes. You can also skip their boxes and just wait until you reach goblins to start picking if you're set on being a locksmith.

	I recommend rats. Locksmithing is hard for even survival primes to keep at level with their hunting. Skinning allows for a lot of leeway in training. You can skin without arranging when you're barely able to skin something or you can arrange completely and make something easy that much harder. It's trainable in combat and it wont kill you.

 The Fire Book spell progression offers the most diverse (and cheap) spell choices. As a magic primary you're going to be learning 9 different kinds of magic at a minimum:
-Magic: You primary skill in magic. This is trained by casting spells of any type.

-Attunement: This is learned primarily by doing what is called a 'powerwalk'. More later.

 Fire Shard (FS) is a targeted spell that will teach both your primary magic skill and targeted. After choosing FS, go out the arch and find the guild shop. It will be up stairs and to the east. Search around for it, it's good to know the different areas of the guild. A cambrinth ring costs somewhere around 2.5 gold. Get one and put it on.
