Strategy
A strong choice; their starting book offers you excellent offense, defense, and a powerful summon. Although Freeze is a powerful level 1 attack spell, its melee range restriction forces you to engage foes you might otherwise want to avoid. Feel free to use stones, tomahawks, javelins, and blowguns as free ranged attacks to help stay alive during your low-MP first few levels, and don't skimp on your use of defensive buffs once you unlock them - they'll only keep you alive if you keep them active.
