Sourcemage

SOURCEMAGE

A mage who turns the tiles underfoot into blessings or curses.

Fire, ice, poison, blood, oil, water, acid, lightning — while your zone is up, those tiles stop being scenery and become blessings or curses.

Requires Script Extender. Built for Patch 8.

CLASS OVERVIEW

Who is this class?

Source Mage is an Intelligence caster who draws power from the world itself. Fire, ice, poison, blood, and other surfaces become part of their kit.

What role does it fill?

Battlefield control through a zone. Sacred leans support and defense. Cursed leans pressure and debuffs. You are not a stand-still pure DPS mage — you play the terrain.

What does it feel like?

Place a zone, create or catch the right surfaces, stand on them or force enemies onto them. Every surface type has its own payoff. Source Points are still a real spend — enough for a set-piece fight, not enough to paint the whole map between rests.

CORE GAMEPLAY

CREATE

Make or find surfaces — Shape Surface, Chromatic Burst, the environment, fire, and so on.

MANIPULATE

Cast Sacred Ground or Cursed Ground. The zone marks creatures and converts the surfaces beneath them into blessings or curses.

EXPLOIT

Stand on the right tiles, invest in surface enhancements, and combo with normal spells.

CORE MECHANIC

Sacred Ground / Cursed Ground is the heart of the class.

How it is created

Cast the zone spell: Action + 1 Source Point + a 1st-level spell slot. It places an aura for a limited time.

How it is consumed

Source Points and a spell slot. The zone is your main spend, not a free passive. Shape Surface and Chromatic Burst also cost 1 Source Point each.

What interacts with it

Fire, oil/grease, ice, poison, acid, water, blood, and electrified surfaces. Standing in the zone converts those tiles into class effects.

How it scales

Some effects grow with the zone owner's level. At levels 4, 8, and 12 you pick surface enhancements — three total. Enhanced surfaces hit harder while your zone is active.

Source Points:

• []2 at level 1[/]

  []+1 at levels 3 / 6 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12[/]

  []Maximum: 9[/]

CLASS RESOURCES

Source Points

The main class resource. Spent on zones, Shape Surface, and Chromatic Burst. Start with 2. Cap at 9.

Spell Slots

Normal caster slots. The zone also costs a 1st-level slot. Chromatic Burst costs a 3rd-level slot (or higher if upcast).

Surface Enhancements

Not a combat pool — a
