+====== Mage Class ======

+==== Description ====

+  * **Unique Wand:** Starts with a unique [[en:rpd:wand_of_magic_missile_item|Wand of Magic Missile]] that can be [[en:rpd:wand_of_magic_missile_item#disenchant|disenchanted]] to upgrade another wand
+  * **Faster Wand Recharge:** Wands recharge faster for the Mage (TIME_TO_CHARGE / sqrt(1 + wand_level)) - [[https://github.com/NYRDS/remixed-dungeon/blob/master/RemixedDungeon/src/main/java/com/watabou/pixeldungeon/items/wands/Wand.java#L416|Wand.java:416]]
+  * **Food Restores Wand Charges:** Eating any food restores 1 charge to all wands in inventory - [[https://github.com/NYRDS/remixed-dungeon/blob/master/RemixedDungeon/src/main/java/com/watabou/pixeldungeon/actors/hero/Hero.java#L816|Hero.java:816]]
+  * **Wands as Melee:** Wands can be used as melee weapons (range 1)
+  * **Elemental Spells:** Uses Spell Points (SP) to cast [[en:rpd:elemental_magic_mechanic|Elemental spells]] like [[en:rpd:ignite_spell|Ignite]], [[en:rpd:magic_arrow_spell|Magic Arrow]], [[en:rpd:freeze_globe_spell|Freeze Globe]], etc.

+  * Higher Spell Points pool (15 vs 10)
+  * Access to magical items
