"Most magic users consider Solar Mages as ill fated jokes...but they are more than what meets the eye,I walked among them, fought alongside them, even fought against them! so I feel entittled to say a thing or two about them, alot of the slander against solar mages come from elitism, specialy comming from the guild of mages, the guild takes pride in the immense waste of time they force all their initiates to go trough, how every spell needs to be troughly studied and documented, as someone raised by the guild I can atest how innefective and tedious their teaching methods are.
However the Solar Order have the opposite approach, they barely teach their initiates anything other than the basics and they are immediately thrown into real battlefields, it's the baby bird approach, you either learn to fly on the spot or die trying...wich in one hand is wasteful since mages dont grow on trees, but at the same time it creates a scenario of survival of the fittest, only the best mages survive to raise their ranks.
Another point of mockery people do towards solar mages is their limited imagination for spells, which may sound valid if you never stepped your feet on a real battlefield, but in practice their spells are exactly what they need to be to win fights, solar mages focus on three things, telekenesis, energy projection and healing, telekinesis by itself is arguably one of the most versatiles forms of magic in existence, posh armchair mages understimate the power of tripping foward a entire formation of enemy soldiers or to throw a entire basket of bricks faster than a musket bullet.
Energy projection is simple but its raw damage, there is nothing to discuss here, anyone who refuses this fact is an inept idiot, solar mages focus on try to emulate the power of the sun, no suprise here, but it obviously is tremendously efective towards cratures of darkness, as a vampire I feel as an authority on this matter, their sunlight spells hurt like crazy and lit things like undead hordes on fire easily, living beings stand even less chance against such faithful and painful atttacks, not to mention the morale boost of summon a miniature sun above your comrades during a nocturnal fight.
Healing is arguably the most complicated art they dabble on, healing magic is absurdly complex and hard to pull off, for this reason the entire Solar Order keeps their healers safe far away from the front lines, their heals are crude and can leave painful scars, but they save lives both among solar knights and civilians so I think thats what counts, and frankly I barely understand healing magic so I dont feel I can criticize their work.
For equipment solar mages suffer the same issue as the regular knights, their armor and weapons are mostly recycled salvage, however mages do get preferential treatment on getting the best gear on the pile since they need every help they can get to support their comrades, and they are not shy of enchanting their equipment to the best of their hability too...but as a fellow mage what draws my atention is their choice of staff, they like to craft their casting tools out of raw iron and yellow quartz cristals, and they tend to cast their spells straight from their staves, wich creates for then a unique aesthetic among magic users, its quite a spectacle to see solar mages piercing the night with their crystal staves."
