Scholars are unique magicians in that they specifically focus on the use of magic in battle and the flow of battle itself. Masters of strategy, Scholars are known for having the right Stratagem at the right time to boost an ally's or their own performance at the right place and time. However, like all plans these Stratagems often come with drawbacks. In addition to being brilliant strategists, Scholars are master of Arcane magic. It does not have the raw power of Black Magic, nor the purity of White Magic, but a utility all it's own. Used strategically Arcane magic can go blow for blow with the best of Black Mages while still having the ability to boost their companions to new heights of Bravery and health. In short, a Scholar is a Master of strategy and magical utility. On the other hand, this focus on studies tends to leave them on the fragile side and Arcane Magic does not mix well with armor of any type so they are typically easy to spot in their robes leaving them as a soft easily spotted target should any of their plans go awry.
Abilities
The Scholar's primary A-Ability is Arcane Magic. For more information on what spells fall under which Arcana, please see the Arcane Magic page.
The Scholar's secondary A-Ability is Strategem. Strategems are unique in that they are used before the Scholar makes an Initiative roll (but can be used after their target makes an Initiative roll) and do not require an action to use. The Scholar may only use one Strategem per round. Strategems may only be used on willing targets.
