How would you use classical mages in modern day militaries?
>>65292944a mage casting fireball is basically a radioman calling in mortars or an airstrike with less people involved.dude says some magic words and those guys over there are now a crater.
>>65292944What the fuck is a classical mage?
>>65292944I'd use them as heavy weapons, artillery, stuff like that.
>>65292944He would be using terrain magic to turn everything i dont want impassible into boglands and swamps
>>65292944Turn the enemy army into women
>>65292944Intel/recon.An absolutely undetectable, unblockable form of surveillance capable of remotely viewing any location on Earth from the safety of a wizard tower would be the most overpowered thing imaginable in modern war.
>>65292974Pretty bad idea. It's utility spells where they can be a massive force multiplier. Clairvoyance, teleportation, camouflage, large-scale engineering etc. Using them as a glorified pack artillery battery is a waste.
>>65292961This, OP your question is so vague and has so many variables that it is nothing but a pointless argument starter. There are as.many depictions of makes as there are vampires and werewolves. All with differing powerless and limitations. PICK. ONE.

Yet another medieval fantasy spam thread.
>>65293159Sure, mushoku tensei magic rules.
>>65292944By classical do you mean actually classical or do you mean some vague redditor video game anime version everyone just assumes to be the "norm".Because "Classical" as in "old school" means the wizard curses your generals and president with dementia or causes all the food in your most prosperous city to spoil overnight, every night. Meanwhile the Wizard never reveals himself, he's living in a random tree transformed into a mouse and his curses can only be broken if you douse his wife in iron shavings.
>>65292961There is a guy in one of the early King Arthur stories that can turn flocks of regular birds into super birds that can lift horses off the ground and rip through steel armor like old spiderwebs and he doesn't even need to be nearby to make that happen.
>>65292944Healers and blessing small arms and artillery for enhanced damage. DO NOT USE THEM FOR FRONTLINE COMBAT. They're too valuable of an asset to risk getting domed by some mudhut dweller.
>>65293198God you are must be fun to talk toJust fucking wizard shit, lets go with mushoku tensei magic rules you cunt alright?
>>65293206>God you are must be fun to talk toYou started a thread about wizards and I wanted to talk about wizards from mythology and fables and you acted like a salty faggot bitch about it. Lmao you're angrier at someone who engaged with the concept of the thread than you are at the anons claiming you're breaking the rules by even posting it.>Just fucking wizard shit, lets go with mushoku tensei magic rules you cunt alright?What the fuck is Mushoku Tensei and why do you post like a whiny little girl

>>65292944I cast Testicular Torsion
>>65292944Classical? If you mean historic, merlins main powers were shape shifting and seeing the future, so he would be intel or spying of some sort. If you mean very old DnD then they would be completely worthless because wizards were weak as shit, couldn't wear body armor and could only cast a single spell a day, which were mostly status effects.
>>65293231It has a good magic system
>>65293275What is it?
>>65292944https://www.finestresullarte.info/en/news/the-hermitage-suspends-archaeological-expeditions-in-russian-occupied-crimeaNo more stealing ukie artifacts of power fags!
>>65292944Since when were you under the impression you were using the wizard, and the wizard wasn't you and your war instead as a large-scale sacrificial ritual to offer a million souls to some elder god in exchange for no longer needing to sleep, because a ring of sustenance just wasn't cutting it anymore, and used up a ring slot anyway.
>>65292944classical mages can travel through time, open portals and erase people from existence i don't think there will be a war for much longer if you use them
>>65293231>slopekaiPick something that's not shit.
practically a wizard is very vulnerable to an average infantry man, and would typically have shorter range that than a rifle for their "offensive" magic. This is why canonically in the Harry Potter universe, all the witches offered themselves to be fucked by muggles as a peace offering after firearms were developed. that said, wizards would be best utilized in logistical role, R&D, or specific SF roles
>>65293386is this the same canon where they shit on the ground and teleport it away?
>>65293359Anon that was me making fun of it. Look at the picture.
>>65293386>classical wizards>Arry PorrerPick one.
>>65293264AD&D has many nice divination spells and mass invisibility, a mage could support a specops platoon and wreck havoc behind enemy lines, direct damage spells are useless compared to modern weapons and artillery though
