Mages acquire two forms of magic that they can use: cantrips and spells. The mage will have some of both when starting off as 1st level, and will gain more as the character gains levels. The method of gaining each differs.
Spells and cantrips are kept in spellbooks, which the character uses to store the complex symbols that explain their magic. In order to construct the spell in their minds, a practice called "memorizing," mages must study the pages of these books. They depend greatly upon the maintenance and care of spellbooks; losing one is a very unfortunate affair.

| personal | 1-4 | 37-51 |
| reversed | 1-4 | 52-70 |
