			As the name implies, an archmage is an arcane spellcaster - usually a wizard, or sorcerer, though it is not the sole domain of these classes, and warmages in particular whom become archmages are also known. Most of them grew and learned for some time in their powers before they manifested what truly could be called that of the archmage: whatever their arcane background, an archmage is seperated from other casters in their mastery of the weave, such that they can create powerful new effects out of already existing spells.

			The path of the archmage demands rigourous study, or experimentation, or both, to conquer, and as such it tends to appeal much more to those whom hold the studious life close: lawful aligned characters are much more suited for it than others. There is still a place for the savant creative, provided they are exceptionally creative.

			Locally to Ravenloft, religious archmages are relegated almost exclusively to either the worship of Hala, or the Church of Ezra, though archmages of the latter are often cloistered away from the world to avoid the many allegations of using the powers of the Legion that may be brought against them by the uninitiated or the malicious otherwise. Otherwise the outlander faiths of Mystra and Azuth tend to be the primary source of archmages that walk the Core. Many archmages too are simply not strongly religious: their calling is their magic, not a faith.

* '''A large difference from tabletop is this class has been stretched to balance it''': in tabletop it is a prestige class with 5 levels allowing a High Arcana each level. In Time of Unparalleled Darkness, Archmage is a 10 level prestige class which allows you a high arcana at level 2 and each second level after.

* All things given as "per day" in tabletop become "per rest" in Time of Unparalleled Darkness.

''It should be noted that this is based on the original Forgotten Realms version, not the later one.''
