Mage

The Mage (previously known as the Wizard) is a class that citizens of Habitica can select when they reach level 10. 

Mages gain experience and mana points (MP) faster than other classes, and also have good rates of earning gold and drops. Mages can cast skills on tasks to deal additional damage to bosses or preserve their own streaks. Mage skills can also affect the player's party by buffing Intelligence or restoring other party members' MP. They are powerful allies to have for dealing damage and recharging skills during boss battles.

BenefitsEdit

• Mages can level up faster than other classes, since their primary attribute is Intelligence. Leveling up restores HP and provides attribute points.
• The Chilling Frost skill provides the unique ability to "freeze" streaks. This may be valuable to players who value long streaks and feel that it's okay to allow an occasional lapse without losing their progress.
• The Burst of Flames skill deals extra damage to bosses as well as giving extra experience.
• Mages can also increase the party's Intelligence, increasing their rate of experience gain, or restore their companions' mana points (MP). This can motivate party members to be more aggressive in completing their own tasks, or it can allow any of the other classes to use extra skills in an emergency.
• With their skills, a party of high-level Mages has the potential for generating limitless amounts of MP, which translates to unlimited buffs to Intelligence, which leads to unlimited experience gain.

SkillsEdit

• Consult the Skills and Buff pages for more information on how skills and buffs work.
• All skills' effects are based on the caster's attributes at the time of casting, not on the attributes of other party members.
• Some skills are also affected by the value of the task they are cast on.
• Some skills adjust the value of the task they are cast on. They have no ongoing effect on the task.
• Skills never mark a task as complete. You do not have to complete a task before or after casting a skill on it. You can cast a skill on a complete or incomplete task.
• All skills that buff the party also buff the caster, unless stated otherwise.
• Buffs are applied immediately and persist until each party member's next Cron.
• Skills do not affect quests, unless stated otherwise.
• Consult the "Skills and Buffs" section in the User Data Display Tool to learn more about the precise effect each skill will have when you cast it.

EquipmentEdit

Mage weapons are the only class-specific two-handed items in the game. They use both the weapon slot and the shield/off-hand slot. Equipping a Mage weapon will automatically unequip your shield or off-hand weapon, meaning that you cannot use an item in the off-hand slot if you are using a Mage weapon. Conversely, if you equip a weapon or shield in your off-hand slot, it unequips the Mage weapon. You will see a message: "(Mage Weapon Name) takes two hands."

Gathering all the Mage Basic Gear gives players the Ultimate Gear - Mage achievement. It costs 1210 gold to buy the whole set of basic Mage gear.
