A pretty nasty combination by anyone's standards, and she put both to pretty good use. In The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, The White Witch Jadis went into battle with a sword and a wand of petrification.The wuxia film Finger of Doom has the main villainess Madam Kung Sun, who is both a dangerous fighter and a powerful sorceress whose skills in voodoo made her The Dreaded.The Beastmaster: Arklon, while he has multiple magic powers, is also good with his sword or bare-handed (he's also large and strong, unlike many mages).A Magic Knight whose magic focuses on healing is a form of Combat Medic. Wizards that use their fists and feet instead of swords and shields go under Kung-Fu Wizard, Knights who use a bow instead of magic apply for Bow and Sword, in Accord, and those who favor firearms or a bow and arrow fall under Mage Marksman. The Black Knight or Tin Tyrant may be one of these, usually with a focus of Necromancy and spells of darkness. The Paladin is a Magic Knight who's centered around Holy powers and fighting the forces of darkness. Older Than Print, as the Norse god Odin (who also made the Robe and Wizard Hat convention), was both a powerful wizard and an accomplished warrior. Doing the same with Status Effects is not unknown either. Other typical abilities for this class may include infusing their bodies or weapons with elemental powers. Instead of the wide variety of spells a normal spellcaster can use, they tend to focus on Status Buffs and direct attack spells. However, being a total Jack-of-All-Stats is also possible, depending on the game.Īnother form of balance may be found in their spell loadout. Usually, the Magic Knights will specialize in a particular class of magic (attack or healing, for instance), effectively making them a hybrid of only two "classes", rather than being an out-and-out "Jack" of all trades. But who said you can't have the best of both worlds? Whether they're wizards who picked up a melee weapon and some spiffy armor, or warriors who learned to cast a few spells, Magic Knights are every bit as deadly with both spell and sword.įor the purposes of game balance, the Magic Knight will either be weaker at sword and spell than a pure fighter or mage, generally slower, somehow otherwise limited to being defensive or offensive, or they'll be The Hero, who is expected to be the most powerful character anyway. And most warriors are Magically Inept Fighters, able to deal and take devastating damage, but their range is limited to the length of their weapon and they'll have trouble with problems they can't bludgeon to death.

Most mages are of the Squishy Wizard variety, able to work eldritch wonders but not take a punch.
