Knight-Enchanter

Knight-Enchanter is a specialization available to Mage characters.

Restrictions: Must begin as a Circle Mage in good standing, with Master level proficiency in at least one school.

History
Though none in the Chantry would admit as much, the skills of the Knight-Enchanter likely derive from the ancient Arcane Warriors of the elves. While this discipline was likely derived from Arcane Warriors, the mages of the Circle have made it their own.

These enchanters train to conjure blades from the fabric of the fade. Along with skills that allow them to defend against and avoid physical attacks. It is considered a noble path, and prior to the dissolution of the Circles, only those who showed unswerving dedication and loyalty to the Circle were ever offered this training.

Natural leaders and brave souls fill the ranks of the Knight-Enchanter, magi who are unafraid to find themselves on the front lines. The Chantry and Circle once boasted that none who have completed the initial training have ever betrayed the trust given to them. Some Knight-Enchanters did break with the Circles during the Mage-Templar war, but even those who have gone their own way do not pass on their skills lightly.

Novice

 * Spirit Blade: You create a blade of solid magic to make melee attacks against nearby enemies.

Intermediate

 * Fade Shield: You draw back the energy released by your enemies in your attacks against them to create a shield of shimmering power. Any successful attack strengthens your shield. The more damage you do, the more powerful your shield grows.

Expert

 * Fade Cloak: You surround yourself with the magic of the Veil itself. You are briefly invulnerable and can pass through enemies unharmed.
 * Veiled Riposte: Whenever you have Fade Shield active, enemies who attack you will take damage in return.

Master

 * Disruption Field: You fill an area with magical energy that slows and weakens your enemies.
 * Resurgence: You call on benign spirits to restore you and your allies for continuing the fight. All party members are healed to full health, including those who have fallen unconscious.

Non-Combat Skills
As the golden children among Circle magi, Knight Enchanters have extensive knowledge of Chantry Lore & Arcane Lore, and have been trained in the skills of Leadership.
