Tendencies: lower-tier Blast Mages tend toward reckless and react more unpredictably to stressful situations. Disciple and Master Blast Mages are harder to shake, and will prioritize their survival and support of their allies.
Tactics: will try to remain at range, damaging frontline enemy fighters when they are isolated and switching to attacking second-line support enemies (such as healers) once they cannot easily rain magic on the front lines without damaging their own allies. A Blast Mage who finds themselves facing a losing battle or getting cornered in close quarters by martial fighters will attempt to retreat and regroup.
Senses: humanoid
