The Archmage is a Character class in Trials of Mana.

History

Trials of Mana

The Archmage is Angela's light-dark class and one of her 4 ultimate classes in the 2D version. In the HD remake, it provides its properties and skills to the Class 4 Mystic Queen should she hold the Sage Sphere.

Game Description

2D Version

The path taken by those whose practice of magic is for the sake of the practice of magic. Redundant as it may sound, this pragmatic, life-long study of what magic is and is not allows the Archmage to have an understanding of the elementals that is free from both holier-than-thou or megalomaniac mentalities. Her skills with magic go beyond mere recitation of moves, having developed an almost first-name basis relationship with the four prime elementals Salamander, Gnome, Undine, and Jinn. This bond is such that she can call on them directly to wreak havoc on those who would interrupt her study with banditry and other such unsavory diversions, meaning that most Archmages are left well enough alone.

3D Version

Archmages can use the elemental powers at their disposal for a variety of powerful attacks. They also know a powerful non-elemental spell called "Glitter Dust."
