Cryomancer

Overview: Cryomancers are masters of ice, using it to defend areas from intruders, and doling out large damage when needed. Cryomancers are the ideal tank, able to take massive hurt, and also decent at support with their Flash Freeze. With careful planning, a Cryomancer can definitely control the battlefield to their liking, but at the cost of being quite vulnerable at times as well. Tread carefully when a Cryomancer is about.

Weapons: Blizzard, Flash Freeze, Icicle Blizzard shoots a torrent of ice shards forwards, following a short windup. Flash Freeze has a short range and travels slow, deals no damage, but locks enemies in place briefly.

Special ability: Glacial Wall Pounding their staff into the ground, the Cryomancer summons a solid wall in front of them, which lasts a short time. Once enough time has elapsed, or the wall has taken sufficient damage, the wall will dissipate. Glacial Wall takes extra damage from any fire or explosive attack.

The Crystal Cabal

Well, sometimes the best technology is just magic. Nobody knows that better than the Runekeepers Crystal Cabal. Thanks to their extensive crystal study, they can channel the natural energies of the world into existence using gemstones. Every class in this guild specializes in their own flavor of magic, channeling the elements and bending them to their will.

Thematically, the Crystal Cabal sort of sits in the position of representing magic as a technology, but not necessarily representing the fantasy genre. Magic is just such a sweeping concept in and of itself, I ended up splitting it all up. Not to say the fantasy-themed guild won’t get magic, don’t worry, it’s just gonna be a bit more low-magic of a theme.

Mechanically, this guild has a lot of mages, so generally you’re gonna get specialists here. Expect fairly extreme stats throughout the entire guild.

Aeromancer

Overview: The Aeromancer specializes in more direct control of the battlefield thanks to their wind magics. Also thanks to their wind magic, they can double jump and just overall be obnoxiously mobile, potentially the most mobile class in the entire game. However, even with their high mobility, it’s hard for them to attack quickly, thanks to the charge-based nature of their spells.

Weapons: Gale Spin, Pressurate, Wind Cutter Gale Spin and Pressurate can both be charged to increase their effects. Gale Spin creates a small tornado that draws foes that get too close in, but deals relatively low damage. Charging the move makes the tornado larger and last longer. Pressurate deals no damage, but when released pushes enemies in front of the user away, or can be used against non-energy projectiles to redirect them towards where the Aeromancer faces, slightly boosting the damage it deals in the process as it gains speed. Both the distance players are launched and the speed/damage of redirected projectiles are increased depending on charge. Wind Cutter has a large melee range. Pressurate can be accessed with Mouse Button 2, regardless of what weapon is being held.

Special ability: Tailwind The Aeromancer temporarily lightens themselves, allowing for a third jump and increasing their movement speed even higher.

ATK - 3/10 DEF - 3/10 SPD - 10/10 RNG - 5/10 AMO - 4/10

(ATK = Attack, DEF = Defense, SPD = Speed, RNG = Range, AMO = Ammo capacity)

Astrapomancer

Overview: Astrapomancers specialize in electricity, thunder, and other such things that may leave you shocked or dazed. Thanks to their special staves with visual enhancers, the destructive capabilities are matched by few, and in reach fewer. However, keep an eye on your mana consumption, for careless bolts may spell the end for you.

Weapons: Electric Blitz, Thunderburst, Maulgur Both Electric Blitz and Thunderburst allow the user to zoom in and take aim more precisely. Electric Blitz deals massive damage, regardless of where it hits, and Thunderburst deals reasonable damage in a small radius.

Special ability: Static Blaze The Astrapomancer marks one opponent with static electricity, increasing the amount of damage the target takes from the next source of damage.

ATK - 8/10 DEF - 2/10 SPD - 4/10 RNG - 9/10 AMO - 2/10

(ATK = Attack, DEF = Defense, SPD = Speed, RNG = Range, AMO = Ammo capacity)

Pyromancer

Overview: Ever feel like you just want the world to burn? Congrats; you understand the Pyromancer. The Pyromancer deals in short-range, high damaging fire spells that also set the opponent on fire. Of course, being a magic class, they also rely on mana for their spells, especially their powerful immolation form, which saps their mana heavily in exchange for massively empowered fire spells.

Weapons: Flame Geyser, Searing Bolt, Magma Blade Flame Geyser is a short-ranged spray of fire in front of the user that rapidly deals damage. Searing Bolt is a dart of flames that flies a decent distance, but deals relatively low damage. Magma Blade will set you on fire.

Special ability: Immolation Form The Pyromancer becomes wreathed in fire, burning those in very close contact. It also doubles fire damage dealt until deactivated, which occurs either manually with the press of a button, or automatically after the Pyromancer is out of magic. Activating Immolation Form costs some mana, and also slowly consumes mana while active.

ATK - 7/10 DEF - 6/10 SPD - 5/10 RNG - 2/10 AMO - 5/10

(ATK = Attack, DEF = Defense, SPD = Speed, RNG = Range, AMO = Ammo capacity)

Cryomancer (Revision 1)

After some thought, I’m gonna slightly revise the Cryomancer. That ice wall ability I’m gonna replace with something else; I have a different class in mind that might like that wall better...

Special ability: Diamond Defense Diamond Defense grants an amount of pseudo-hit points to any ally, or to the Cryomancer themselves. ATK - 7/10 DEF - 9/10 SPD - 2/10 RNG - 4/10 AMO - 3/10

(ATK = Attack, DEF = Defense, SPD = Speed, RNG = Range, AMO = Ammo capacity)
