I always liked mages and casters in any kind of RPG environment or game where it was a choice. When I played NoX for the first time, I picked the wizard storyline. So, black mage seemed like the perfect job for me....and then over time I realized that the game wasn't designed for my class to stand still and every boss hates me.

Also, Leylines is like having a "Please, kick me" sign on my back.
