The Mage class in Ragnarok Online uses elemental magic to deal distant damage with fire, ice, and lightning spells. Mages are intelligent and excel in group combat. As they level up, they can become Wizards or Sages with more powerful spells.

Warlock

Overview

Warlocks are the advanced version of the Wizard class. Their name is often abbreviated and then referred to as just "WL". They offer two viable roles: The instant/fast cast killer and the crowd control support. Depending on how well geared a Warlock is they will be either a fallback support class for controlling mobs with Jack Frost or one of the main AoEs with Crimson Rock, Comet and Chain Lightning. The earth element tree offers great PVP capabilities with the ability to strip players of their equipment. Players also have the ability to "memorize" skills for instant casting at a later time, which can help with long cast times and reuse delays.

A Quick Explanation of Spellbook/Release: The basics to playing Warlock

With the addition of new powerful spells upon job change, players will now have access to 2 spells that allow for instant casting of learned spells. These 2 spells are:

• Reading Spell Book

• Release

The way this new system of casting works is that a player will have to purchase spellbooks from the Geffen Mage guild (the building where you changed into a mage). Once these spells are in inventory, players can cast Reading Spell Book and choose the spells of the books they currently own to 'memorize'. What this basically does is store up the spells in the warlocks memory to 'Release' when needed at a later time with no casting bar or cooldown delay (yes this bypasses the horrible 1 minute cooldown of Comet. That is where the Release spell comes in. Players will need level 1 Release to cast the memorized spell.
