Learn the most prevalent ways to destroy your enemies
From Create Your Own Story
Your teenage years were spent apprenticing to a bitter old mage who, in many students oppinions, knew far too many ways to maim or kill them. He was a veteran of many wars in which the nobles of the land had called on mercenaries to resolve their disputes. He later settled down and decided teaching his skills was a good way to avoid bankruptcy as he was too old for battle. On the first day he taught all his students a shield spell and proceded to lob powerful fireballs in all directions. Any who failed to hold their barrier not only ended up going to the healers class to treat the burns but also were refused his tutelage.
Over the years he showed his pupils many, many ways to both survive the attacks of their enemies and how to counter with brutal efficiency that left the clearings where the class was eventually moved to (due to rooms of the college..exploding..) scorched and untraversable. You proved to be one of the most promising students in the class due to your eagerness to learn and your eventual friendship of the veteran mage who taught you everything of battle.
When the students graduated from the class and college, each member of your class was a extraordinarily skilled combatant, capable of both personal and large-scale combat tactics backed by powerful arcane abilities. Unfortunatly your friend and master died before your graduation, leaving you alone to ponder your next step. You could choose to follow in his footsteps as a mercenary, hiring yourself out to those that could afford your services. You might also join the forces of the king as a royal battlemage, or choose instead to strike out as a solitary adventurer.
which did you choose?
