Dark Mage

Occult sorcery that bends the Abyss to your will.

Magic artillery / occultDifficulty

A caster who pairs raw True Word Magic with the forbidden lore of the Abyss. You deal heavy magical damage while leaning into occult, curse-flavored effects — the classic "dark mage" fantasy done with real Sword World 2.5 disciplines.

Why this build works

How to level it

Raise Sorcerer first for a stable damage core, then bring Abyss Gazer online once you can afford Table A costs. Keep Spirit high — it feeds your MP.
