#131, "Animists - mage or not?"


          

Animist cast spells. Their spells can be spellbaned (unfortunately -- since it stopped my using gust of wind to escape entwining village warriors).

They aren't mentioned on the tablet, which predates them. Should they be?

A current villager tells me you've personally confirmed that animists are not magi, but I wondered if you were talking about rangers in general not being magi, despite their few spells, and now animists are an exception because they have lots, and in a fight, they are probably casting rather than using skills.

I know that even before my animist joined nexus I got attacked by ragers because they considered me to be a mage, which seemed quite reasonable to me.

Animists are clearly using "wild magic." To Battleragers, Magic is magic. You were misinformed.

Obviously, the ultimate decision on something like that is of course up to the Battle IMM(s).

However, for what it's worth the helpfile suggests that despite being mystical and spiritual, their magic is also plain old vanilla "we hates it" magic.

If I were a BattleRager and read that specific helpfile I would probably think that attacking Animist rangers (probably at a lower priority than other mages in some cases) would be valid behavior.
