"An ideal mage someone who can crush their enemy without even moving a toe."
That used to be the definition of perfection.
But that was the old world.
A time long gone.
Now? Things are different. Magic isn't some sacred art used by scholars or war priests anymore.
It's everywhere woven into every part of society, every way of life.
And because of that,a mage is no longer someone who just stands at the back, chanting spells.
A mage today fights.Casts and strikes.
Kicks, punches, slashes whatever it takes to survive.
They blend body, magic, technique, and instinctuntil every motion flows as one.
A staff isn't just a tool for casting anymore.It's a weapon.
A part of the mage's body.A blade made of will and mana.
In battle, standing still means death.Hesitation just one second of it can cost you everything.
This is the age of mages who fight with fists, blades, and spells.
The age where only those who dominate in every waycan stand at the top.
