Hi guys. Do mages seek different forms of power?

Hi guys. Do mages seek different forms of power?

Mine is looking for square ones. Is that what you meant?

You might elaborate more on what you are actually asking.

I mean like. Do mages seek out different powers like fel or the Void?

I'm sorry but this seems like a non question. It's like asking if firefighters do other things than put out fires. A little cursory searching would easily provide you the answer to your question without having to make a whole thread for it.

This is an article on Magic in World of Warcraft.

I mean what is a Warlock but a mage that specced Affliction

I know right? A mage that seeks out power is a warlock.

Not necessarily. If one who is not familiar with Warcraft's lore just reads up on the existing types of magic in the Warcraft universe, that one could easily distinguish what a traditional practitioner of Arcane magic would become if they started dabbling into darker magics, like Fel and Void.

Like, if random Dalaran NPC magic user "John Magic" decided to study and practice the Void fulltime, would he automatically become a Shadow Priest?

Yes, they do. A lot of them considered taboo. Like, Kel'thuzad seeking necromancy.

[Azerothian Explorer]

In WoW, the three mages specializations fall under order (arcane) or void (fire, frost). Canonically mages that dabble in "dark arts" are like Kel'Thuzad with necromancy (undeath/death) or Kael'Thas with fel.

He said forms, not shapes. lol

[Lecadre]

mages draw their powers primarly from the arcane (which represents order) while warlocks from fel (which represents chaos) so they are very different on that part, priests are also different with their light and void sources of power, the only similarity between these is that they are spellcasters but still it not the same as the magic that mages use, the fire and frost specializations that mages have are also a form of manipulating the arcane energies to change them into these elements, including the food they create, the portals they summon and everything else they do
