GSIV SPELLS: Rangers

Winking Eye

Simu Explains:

Rangers are semi-spell users, combining skill at arms with spiritual magic. While they can only throw spells of limited power, their magic enhances their considerable skill with weapons. Ranger spells are especially potent outdoors, as many deal with manipulating nature. They are also fairly adept at learning to maneuver and use devices, both magical and mundane. One of the most versatile professions, Rangers have a flexibility that pure arms or spell users can not match.

Spheres: Arms, Spiritual 
Prime stats: Dexterity, Intuition 
Mana stats: Wisdom 
Spell Circles: Minor Spiritual, Ranger Base

Special commands

SENSE - Allows Rangers to determine the terrain and climate of an area by examining the flora and fauna.
