[h2]What is a Storm Mage like in the new Archmage Rises Combat?[/h2]
Chaos.

As our most chaotic spell school, Storm Magic in Archmage’s new combat is about capturing lightning's unpredictable nature in a bottle… and using it to your advantage.

While Storm Magic generally has many high-damage potential spells, many have a bonus chance to do something extra. Lightning Bolt can strike the target twice, while Stormstrike sometimes hits everything nearby. Shock, a strategic spell meant to interrupt enemies, has a chance to completely stun the target on success.

Skillful Storm Mages can turn the tide of battle in their favor by drenching their foes with water-themed spells, such as cloudburst and monsoon. Once drenched, the odds of the storm spell bonuses occurring increase dramatically.

Here are a few of the storm spells you can learn:

  • Lightning Bolt: Blast your enemies with a sudden discharge of power.
  • Stormstrike: Lash your enemies with an unstable chain of thunderbolts.
  • Cloudburst: Drench your opponents with a sudden downpour.
  • Monsoon: Call down a deluge to flood the battlefield and soak your foes to the bone.
  • Gale: Summon a roaring wind to batter your foes to and fro upon the battlefield.
  • Shock: Attempt to stun your sodden foes with a bolt from heaven.
  • Storm Shield: Weave yourself a crackling mantle of lightning to repel your attackers.

We'll have more details diving deeper into the magic of a Storm Mage as we get closer to release.
