Kundun Mage

Lore

    The Kundun Mages are descendants of the ancient Atlans civilization, which possessed advanced knowledge of magic and the elements. After the fall of Atlans, the survivors sought refuge over the MU continent and passed down their magical traditions through the generations. These teachings eventually gave birth to the Kundun Mage class.
    The Kundun Mages possess a deep understanding of the elemental forces that govern the world focusing their vision on casting only white magic, as opposed to their name. They can tap into these energies and channel them through their spells, manipulating fire, ice, lightning, and other elemental forces to devastating effect. They are adept at both offensive and defensive magic, making them versatile and formidable spellcasters on the battlefield.
    To become a Kundun Mage, individuals must undergo rigorous training and study under skilled mentors. They learn to attune themselves to the elements and harness their powers through intricate spellcasting rituals and incantations. Kundun Mages are also known for their intelligence and wisdom, as their magic requires a deep understanding of the arcane arts and the forces they seek to control.
    In battle, Kundun Mages rely heavily on their arsenal of spells to defeat enemies. They can rain down fireballs from the sky, freeze foes in place with icy spells, and unleash lightning storms. Their versatility allows them to adapt to various combat situations, making them a valuable asset in any group or solo play.
    The Kundun Mage class embodies the raw power of the elements and the ancient magical traditions of the Atlans civilization. With their formidable spellcasting abilities, they stand as formidable opponents and valuable allies in the ongoing struggle for supremacy in the world of MU.
