Green Mage (3.5e Class)

Green Mage
Green Mages use the power of Wind. Many people think this element is "weak" or "childish" compared to the more visible powers of Fire and Ice. But Wind users suggest that all magic is equally powerful, but that since theirs is the only one you can't see coming, that perhaps you should fear it most of all.

Making a Green Mage
It's a little weak in direct combat, but it gets a wide variety of effects, some utilitarian and some terrain-making.

Abilities: The Green Mage is a user of magic, and that magic is based on Charisma. But they are also a heavy user of ranged attacks, and those manipulations are Dexterity based. Green Mages have a strong tendency to use staves.
