Mage guardians are warriors that train to overcome spellcasters, learning the art of their enemies to use it against them. Some are members of ancient orders that practise secret martial arts, while others are professional soldiers singled out for special training and others still are skilled mercenaries that sell their services to the highest bidder. Regardless of their origins, mage guardians are incredibly skilled warriors and the worst nightmare of any spellcaster. |
