The
Wizard
Wizards are supreme magic-users, defined and united as a class by the spells they cast. Drawing on the subtle weave of magic that permeates the cosmos, wizards cast spells of explosive fire, arcing lightning, subtle deception, and brute-force mind control. Their mightiest spells change one substance into another, call meteors down from the sky, or open portals to other worlds.
Who is the Wizard?
Wild and enigmatic, varied in form and function, the power of magic draws students who seek to master its mysteries. Their expertise is attained after years of apprenticeship and countless hours of study. Wizards live and die by their spells, thinking everything else to be secondary. The lure of knowledge and power calls even the most unadventurous wizards out of the safety of their libraries and laboratories and into crumbling ruins and lost cities.
Wizards’ lives are seldom mundane. The closest a wizard is likely to come to an ordinary life is working as a sage or lecturer in a library or university, teaching others the secrets of the multiverse. Other wizards sell their services as diviners, serve in military forces, or pursue lives of crime or domination.

On Mastery & Subclasses
Subclasses in on the Old Guard server work like specializations of your class and enable players to customize their general class into something more fitting their RP and general play style. While it’s not mandatory, it’s highly recommended to chose a subclass from character creation onwards, since a player needs to earn the subclass from a fitting IC trainer (aka another player) to master it.
That said it’s not crucial to choose a subclass during character creation just to have one, especially if you cannot decide for one, or have the feeling that it just does not fit the backstory of them (e.g. if they’re young and just starting their adventurer’s career).
Changing the subclass (or the class on that account) is also possible that way, as the only thing you need is another player who trains you ICly. All on class, subclass and mastery training can be found here.
All Boons, Banes, Spells, Abilities and Cantrips you find in the specific subclasses sections come on top of everything you see under the basic class above.So you’ll lose nothing by chosing a subclass from the list at any point of time.

Many who have observed a bladesinger at work remember the display as one of the more beautiful experiences in their life, a glorious dance accompanied by a singing blade.

Order of the Metamorpher
Having honed their ability to magically entrance and beguile other people and monsters through Enchantment, these Wizards are able to amplify their spells through their mixed knowledge of Transumation to modify energy and matter.

They are content in being an agent of change by wielding the raw matter of creation and learning to alter both physical forms and mental qualities.

Order of the Ouroboros
Using Necromancy and Conjuration, going hand in hand with one another, Wizards who learn this mixture of schools enjoy exploring the cosmic forces of life, death, and undeath. Focusing on traditional studies, they typically favor spells that produce objects and creatures out of thin air as well. Able to conjure billowing clouds of killing fog or summon creatures from elsewhere to fight on your behalf, they learn to manipulate the energy that animates all living things. As they learn, they can even sap the life force from a creature as their magic destroys its body, transforming that vital energy into magical power these wizards can manipulate.
