outmanned, they’ll try to outthink their foes, which works
more often than not. They demonstrate an efficient kind of
pragmatism, owing perhaps to their ability to solve many
problems with just a few magical tools.

Aligned Free Agents

While some warmages are fully self-taught, the majority
join a house: a loose confederation of warmages who
practice together and share secrets of the trade. Houses
teach invaluable battlefield strategy, but each individual
house also touts their own brands of tactics and styles
of magical tricks. The House of Knights, for example,
emphasizes armor and martial prowess, whereas the
House of Kings emphasizes battlefield strategy.
By way of metaphor, houses that value honor and
teamwork above all else brand themselves after games
of strategy, whereas those who epitomize self-reliance
name themselves for games of chance. This division in the
warmage houses is representative of a schism that dates
back to the earliest warmage masters. Legend has it that
the first two masters separated when one decided to found
a college. The other, out of spite, built a casino outside its
grounds.

your targets, to a minimum of 1 die of damage per target.
Each attack must target a different creature.
