The Four Disciplines
Every mage follows one discipline. You learn its laws a level at a time, research the ones you favour, and ready up to a dozen spells for battle. Here are a few of the spells each discipline learns in its first five levels.
Elementalist
The battle-mage of fire, frost and stone. Elementalists open with quick darts and grow into heavy lances that strike from far across an arena, and they can raise a wall of biting cold to close a corridor.
Role
Damage
Range
Long
Strengths
The most raw damage; three elements to switch between; wards against the others' elements.
Plays like

The Orders
Three orders hold the arenas, each with a Keystone shrine to defend. Your mage belongs to none of them: you choose an order in the tavern before every match, so you can stand with your friends one battle and against them the next.
Cinder VowCinder in the arena
Moon VeilVeil in the arena
Reed VigilReed in the arena
Bias the power pools to your order, wear the others' shrines down and break them; a fallen shrine can be restored. Hold your own shrine and the most power, and your order takes the match.
Seasons & rewards
Season 1: The First Breaking runs until 30 November 2026. Daily and weekly quests earn season points; every rank brings a title, and some bring a look or a spell skin.
Ten ranks of titles, from S1 · Novice to S1 · Stormcaller, yours to keep.
Rank looks for your mage and spell skins for your spells.

The Hall of Honours
Every week the Hall crowns the mages who did the most: the Lifebringer who healed and raised, the Stonebreaker who brought shrines down, the Poolwarden, the Iron Mage, the Rising Star and the Duelist. Each wears a laurel for the week. Bonus-XP nights, like Friday Night Surge, are on the in-game calendar.
