Mage: The mage is the foremost and most basic of all magic-wielding classes. They spend years studying elemental magic and the damage they deal greatly reflects that.

Battle mage: Heavily armored spell casters. The sheer indomitable force brought by the battle mages dominated the battle fields of ancient Lore. It was because these spell casters, who could not only cast powerful spells and wield heavy blunt weapons, but because they armored themselves in heavy armor and could take serious damage, that the entire class itself was banned by all parts of Lore and teaching, practicing and any mentions of the class was made heavily illegal. Most battle mages were jailed and executed, went into hiding, or switched professions to become arch mages.

Cleric: Pure, blessed healers. The cleric class in its entirety is represented by Lyna Tajule, who is the goddess of healing and medicine. For a long time, the cleric class was thought dead, because it was replaced by means of spiritual healers or more technological healers.

So there we go, any new classes submitted will now have their definitions listed and categorized with the other classes depending on similarities in classes.

Arcane Painter: a class of artistic magic users that can paint anywhere, even in mid-air. When painting on a surface or in the air, the paint goes into action as a magic spell depending on the type of brush staff used. This is dictated by the Painters themselves, as they mix their own spellpaints alchemically, and apply them to their arsenal of brush staves. The Painters can even paint on themselves in order to grant them buffs and abilities, for however long the paint stays on. However, once the paint comes into contact with water, the effects of the spells are nullified.
