Prior to be promoted, a Mog'war must find an Orcish Mage or higher mage rank to sponser the orc as their apprentice.

Orc Appretices continue to intesify their studies in magic. Very little time is spent in learning combat skills. In group combat, these apprentices are expected to give priority to casting heal spells to orcs, as opposed to damage spells to the opponent(s).

The Orcish Mage has reached a significant level of understanding and knowledge of the shaping of Da'Nogra's gift. The Orcish Mage has become a formidable opponent, and takes an active role in training Mug'war and Apprentices.

The Orcish Mage is allowed to leave the Land of Kor solely for the purpose of buying reagents, and then quickly returning to the Lands. As many humie vendors refuse to deal with orcs, often these Mages will disguise themselves with an Incognito spell.

The Orcish Archmagi has become incredibly powerful at shaping Da'Nogra's gift. These orcs rarely wield a weapon other than a staff, as they have found magic to be a far more powerful weapon.

Grunts greatly fear the Archmages and their powers, and they never ask them for magic assistance. All other non-magic-using orcs simply fear magic, and therefore equally fear the Archmagi. Only the truly stupid dare to pick a fight with, or simply just disagree with an Orc Archmagi -- these deft orcs usually realize their error while looking for a healer in ghost form.

Aside from being powerful gifted with magic, these orcs also show a good ability to lead and teach. They run regular drills and training sessions with all Magic Orc classes. Their most favorite training tool is the "Magi Clomp", a mage duel.

When an Archmagi is ready to become a Necrolyte, a Shaman or Witch Doctor conducts a Soul Binding ceremony. The Archmagi is slain, and chants to Da'Nogra are spoken. Just as Da'Nogra has become aware of the presence of the Archmagi's spirit in the Gray Plane (Zar Tol Mar), the Shaman or Witchdoctor quickly yanks the life force back.

With the Soul Binding, part of the Magi's soul is actually still in existence in Zar Tol Mar. The Magi is able to draw extra power from the Grey Plane, and thus gains the ability to cast necromantic magic. Unfortunately, the sudden yanking, and subsequent splitting of the Mage's soul, does tend to make the Magi a little "insane". Most Necroltyes are quite eratic in their behaviour.

You may only get the attention of a Necrolyte by the following emote: *approaches in fear*. If the Necrolyte is not busy, he may acknowledge your presence. Failure to do this, may result in instant death from the Necrolyte. Some higher ranks that become more accustomed to the Necrolyte's fearful presence, will usually just *nod* towards the Necrolyte and wait for them to acknowledge them... usually with a short reply like, "speak".

A Necromancer has little use for a weapon, but may occasionally weild an Orc staff.

(To be a necromancer you must have strong roleplaying skills, as this is a difficult class to play. They are very adversarial in nature, and you must enforce the "approaches in fear" rule.)

Some Archmagi become so powerful, that soon they begin to loose their minds. This is not totally a disadvantage as by loosing some of their grip on reality, they are actually able to see some things that others are not able to. Mystics often become very reclusive and care little for clan politics.

An Orc Mystic has little patience for orcs and prefers spending his time by researching prophecies and magic artifacts. Often the Orc Mystic will just spew out a prophecy that suddenly comes to mind. Orc Mystics carry a black staff, which they use to channel their ominous power through. Humans often refer to these Mystics as "Seers" or "Oracles". Because of their great power and presence, these orcs are sometimes mistaken as Seers.

Orc Mystics spend a lot of time in the Necro Shak doing their research. To stay fit, they train often with their black staff, and as a side benefit some become quite deadly with their staff.

(To be a Mystic you must have strong roleplaying skills, and should be able to spew out creative prophecies in a moments notice.)

Orcish Magi of Kor are incredibly powerful orc mages. They are also strong leaders, and very active within the clan. Orcish Magi are the personal Mage's of the King's. When the King is present, the Magii's first durty is to ensure the King is kept safe and alive.

The Orcish Magi are responsible for all Magic Orc Classes activities. The commands of the Magi are never questioned.
