Main play style

In Combat

Veor operates as a combat mage most of the time. Typically starting before the combat begins if possible with Snowfall, Wall of Ice & Ice Construction capable of shaping the battlefield for the parties advantage. Then Snowball & Ice Bolt can both be cast shortly before combat for use during the fight, leaving him free to cast Rays of Cold & Ice Projectiles during the fight. If need be he can step into the front line, but he is not a front line warrior by any stretch of the imagination.

Out of Combat

Ice doesn't have a lot of buff magic and his Rune magic isn't very good yet so he doesn't do a lot of buffing, Normally Greater Heart Rune & occasionally Resist Cold or Ice Traversal as well. Nor are his skills exceptional in any area, though he does have some court & travel skills. He is not a Healer but here his Rune Magic allows him to replicate some of what a Healer can do as long as the target is alive. The only travel magic he has is the Iceberg spell.

Description

Veor Damarez.
Veor has undergoing a change recently, transforming into a 5'10" tall woman with a respectable build. Still blonde with flowing hair to just below the shoulder and piercing snow blue eyes that gaze out at the world with chill. She dresses in fine chain under outdoors clothes while at the guild, sometimes changing to plate while on adventure, avoiding showing flesh that would suggest anything.

Background & History
