Dragon Mage's Elementalist Magic Barrier is replaced by a powerful spell called 'Armageddon' - Armageddon rains down fiery death from the sky. This spell drops 255 meteors (the cap) over 17 seconds with a radius of ~5.7m.

The Mentalism Aspect's 'Combat Trance' is replaced by 'Psychic hammer' - Psychic Hammer damages and stuns enemies in a small area for a short duration.

The Dragon Magic Aspect's Dragon Berserk is changed to Dragon's Wrath: Dragon's Wrath allows you to focus the wrath of a dragon into your melee & ranged attacks, enhancing your damage and chance to hit.

Dragon Mage Set Items

[[2]]

There are 6 sets for the Dragon Mage.

3 of the sets specialise in one of the aspect such as a Dragon Magic set: [Pyx's Power[3]] Elementalist set: Draagen's Legacy [[4]] Mentalism set: Torik's Oath [[5]]

The other 3 come in smaller quantities, but are useful for the Dragon Mage as a whole, or whether you want to improve skills or combat arts.

Maw's Vow - [[6]] Thraken's Command [[7]] Halgrim's Law [[8]]

Dragon Mage Unique Mounts

The Dragon Mage's unique mount just like the other characters, is available after the unique mount quest which is provided here: [[9]]

There are 3 different availabilities with different colours, however all give the same 'Dragon Magic' bonus. Because Unique Mounts gives a hefty combat art regeneration time extra bonus, the mounts are usually split into individual categories, so in the Dragon Mage's case, there should be a Draconican which specialises in Elemental Magic and gives -33.3% to the combat art regeneration, and a Mentalist Draconican which gives -33.3% to Mentalism combat art regeneration, to oppose the average +50% combat art negative bonus.

However, if you only do the Unique Mount quest for Dragon Mage, then only Dragon Draconicans specialists are available, for an average price of around 250,000 Sacred Coins.
