If radiant decides to add more mage classes, why not use runes to carry out bigger spells? For example, say your town wants some weapons or wool. You would need your mage, or “runemaker” to make certain runes made with materials of the item you wish to summon, then the runemaker places the runes in a certain pattern. There could be an animation of him doing the ritual, then the items would spawn within 3 to 5 minutes. This could also be used to summon creatures, demons and such.
The only mage class is going to be the geomancer… and then the magmasmith (a magic blacksmith for weapon enchanting/ect)
they want magic to be very limited for hearthlings and to primarily be a monster thing… they said this themselves in response to people asking for a magic faction/nation
