===Abjurer===
Description:	Abjurers are specialist mages who concentrate their studies towards the mastery of protective magic. So adept have they become that they automatically gain every known abjuration spell when they gain levels, including spells which only the abjurer may master. Although the Abjurer will not have the benefit of Enchantment spells, they are still formidible foes. Their protective magic lasts much longer than that of other mages, and they still have access to many of the most dangerous spells.

How to Play

Player Comments

• From my experience, abjurers excel at keeping their enemies away. Turn off automelee and cast spells to repel the enemy, such as repulse or wall of air. Then release ranged spells like fireball. Repeat until dead. -- Snarf

Notes

Every mage subclass has a natural amplifier towards a spell group, the abjurer is no different. By reaching level 5, it gains a bonus to abjuring magic, and these bonuses are doubled when you grow to level 10. Also the duration of your abjuring magic is doubled and the effects of abjuring magic towards you are halved, what makes the level 10 a very important point on your path. You wont be able to use enchantment magic as an abjurer though, but it wont prevent you to become a deadly caster by combining the powers of abjuration and evocation with a few twists here and there, we managed to go to level 91 using only the equipment from the Mud school, that's why we call the abjurer a pretty self-sufficient class. With the exception of dragons and other mobs with special behaviours, you will be able to face tougher foes even on early levels.
