Lv 1
Mage Armor A shimmering force armor you never let lapse: +3 AC.

Lv 2
Warding Weave Every Spell Point you spend threads force into a barrier around you (up to a quarter of your health). It fades a few seconds after you stop casting.

Elemental Binding skills

Bind Elementals

Lv 3 Summon lightning Elemental Binding

Draw a binding circle and call an elemental through it: a Storm Elemental that lashes foes with lightning from range, a Fire Elemental whose blows erupt across a pack, or a Stone Elemental that roars to drag foes off you. Choose the form in Hearthold; mastery binds more of them.

What it does for a new Wizard at level 3; in game the numbers follow your hero

Calls 1 Storm Elemental for 20 s.
It has 24 HP and hits for 2–14 lightning damage every 0.6 s.
A crackling stormcloud that hangs back and lashes foes with quick lightning from six tiles.
Choose its form in Hearthold (Hero → Skills).
Casting it again while they're out replaces the oldest.

Type: Summon
Cost: 45
Cooldown: 30s
Damage: 1d6 per summon hit lightning
Summons: 2
Lasts: 20s

Forms: choose one any time (Hero → Skills — town or mid-dungeon; the next cast calls it). Compare every caster's forms

Numbers per body at mastery rank 1, against a plain summon body (HP 56% of your max HP; damage = the skill's dice × your power). A summon also inherits your gear: weapon power and Damage % on its hits (flat damage and elemental affixes don't carry), ~85% of your AC and to-hit, half your attack speed and crit chance, a quarter of your move speed. Mastery ranks and perks multiply every form the same way. While one body of a form stands you get its master passive (one per form; half strength in the PvP arena).

Mastery: ranks 1–10, perks, mastered bonus

Each rank above 1: +3% damage, −1% cooldown, −1% cost. Ranks come from using the skill; your character level caps them (rank 10 needs level 14). Numbers below are without perks.
