Magister was the epic destiny initially intended for use by the Wizard class. In Update 51, it was replaced with Magus of the Eclipse.

Magister[edit]

Magister tree

Having studied the intricacies of the arcane tirelessly, the Magister has gained an understanding of magic that few mortals ever achieve.

Much like an Archmage, this Arcane Epic Destiny has the option of specializing in a particular school of magic, making spells of that school more difficult to resist or adding additional effects to them. the Magister can also hinder enemy magic or bolster ally spells with powerful sigils, and can even create an aura that grants magical immunity to the Magister and all allies who stand within it.

Requirements[edit]

At level 20, your Destiny may be to become a Magister if you have at least one of:

Innate abilities[edit]
