Magician

A magician is one of the five class archetype that other jobs in MapleStory draw from. They make use of unrivaled magical power to attack foes from a variety of ranges, usually in the interest of backing up comrades and keeping foes from all directions at a safe distance.

Boasting a magic attack level greater than any of the other classes, the broadness of their potential is such that upon 2nd job advancement, a magician must choose to specialize, branching into either Ice/Lightning (I/L Wizard), Fire/Poison (F/P Wizard), or Holy Magic (Bishop). All Magician Explorers specialize in wands or staffs as primary weapons, and shields or Magic Books as secondary weapons.

Job Advancements

1st Job Advancement

When the player reaches Level 10 as a Beginner, aspiring Magicians will be sent to the Magic Library in Ellinia to talk to Grendel the Really Old, who will advance the player to an Magician. The player will be given an HP and MP boost, as well as a basic magician weapon.

2nd Job Advancement

At Level 30, the player will receive a lightbulb on the side from Grendel the Really Old, who will send the player back to the Magic Library. He will give the player a choice between Wizard (Fire, Poison), Wizard (Ice, Lightning), or Cleric and will send the player into a special map with the task to collect 30 Dark Marbles from the Zombie Lupins inside. Once the Dark Marbles have been obtained, return to Grendel the Really Old to advance to either a Wizard (Fire, Poison), Wizard (Ice, Lightning), or Cleric, depending on the player's choice.

3rd Job Advancement

At Level 60, the player will receive a lightbulb on the side from Grendel the Really Old once again, who will teleport the player to the Chief's Residence in El Nath to speak with Robeira. She will teleport the player to the Dead Mine's Holy Ground at the Snowfield, where the player must click on the Holy Stone at the bottom of the map to enter another dimension. Once there, walk to the right portal to enter the Dimensional World and defeat Grendel the Really Old's Clone inside to obtain the Black Charm. Return to Robeira with the quest item in hand for a new job title and a new set of skills.

4th Job Advancement

At Level 100, the player will receive a lightbulb on the side from Robeira. After speaking to her, the player must head to Leafre and venture to the Forest of the Priest, which can be accessed by walking to Valley of the Antelope 1 and entering the portal on the top right (indicated by a wooden face-like structure) to meet Gritto. She will give the player the task to obtain the Heroic Pentagon from Manon, Herald of Heroes and the Heroic Star from Griffey Herald of Heroes. Return to Gritto and speak to her again to advance.
