Relying heavily upon their mental acumen, a Mage must always maintain their intelligence. Mages who grow sloth and dullard have far more difficulty in the casting of spells. The spells they do cast are far less potent than those of a Mage who has not let his mind deteriorate. Coupled with intelligence is a Mage's need for wisdom. Without the judicious application of intelligence, magic is a dangerous ally. Ultimately, so much time exerted in study results in Mages becoming slightly less physically capable than other classes. Mages tend to be weaker than most classes and deficient in strength.
