The power of mana can be shaped in many ways. It can aid stealth or subterfuge, heal or hin-der the mind and body, or be woven into the purest forces of destruction available. The combat mage prefers this last route—fire and ice in particular. To appease the needs of the street, the combat mage also knows the value of a combat medic for field patch-ups as well as the need for a little cover for an expeditious retreat. All of those options are far from her last line, as she believes that the cleansing power of fire and ice can deal with any situation.
