PMS Draft - Red Mage

## Red Mage
A Miqo'te swordsman faces off with a villain on the run. With no where to run, their infamous criminal turns to fight the red clad hero, falling to their precise and skilled strikes.

A Hyurian mage cloaked in crimson finds a village under fire by the elements themselves, they use their powerful magics to protect their homes and heal their sick, bringing light where before there was only dark.

A Viera strikes a proud pose and calls out loudly to their allies, leading the charge against a group of roaving monsters, it is through the vermilion viera's  leadership they claim victory.

Red Mages can trace the history of their kind back to a great reconciling of differences between warring mages, giving rise to great power and legacy of brave and powerful adventurers whose goal was to safeguard the future. Whether it is in the shadows or in the spotlight, Red Mages fight for good and protect those not strong enough to look out for themselves.

### Bitter Ends and New Beginnings
The original Red Mages can be traced back to Abalathia's Spine in the mountainous region of Gyr Abania. During the mass flooding of the world during the Sixth Umbral Calamity, survivors from all over gathered. Amongst them were refugees from the warring sorcerous city states of Mhach and Amdapor. These Black and White mages respectively, buried the bad blood between their peoples and combined their knowledge to create a new discipline to bring peace to the world their people had ravaged.

### Steel and Sorcery 
Red Mages are renown for their combination of magics and swordship. By combining powerful black magic, soothing white magic and stellar steel strikes, they aim to twist the battlefield to their advantage. They are most known for using a rapier which they convert into a staff with ease, using a spell casting focus they affix to the base of their weapons' pommel.

### Creating a Class 
Red Mages are more than just mages and swordsmen, they are symbols of justice and beloved figures of history in Gyr Albania. Many heroes of legend have taken the red and mastered this tricky balance of disciplines for the betterment of the world. It was the earnest wish of the originators to protect the future for their families and friends. It is this heroic spirit that usually drives the Red Mages to head off on an adventure.

### Quick Build
You can make a Red Mage quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Dexterity your highest ability score, followed by Charisma. Second take the Folk Hero background. Third, note the Jolt cantrip and take the Mage Hand cantrip from the Black Mage spell list.
