	== Attribute Importance ==		== Attribute Importance ==
	<b>[[Strength (Attribute)\|Strength]]</b> is		Mages have two primary attributes that all magic skills are based on: Focus and Self. Because of this, mages enjoy more flexibility when assigning their innate attributes.
	<br><br><b>[[Endurance (Attribute)\|Endurance]]</b> is		<br><br><b>[[Strength (Attribute)\|Strength]]</b> is not very important for mages. It allows them to carry more components and wear heavier armor without becoming so easily encumbered, but none of their primary skills rely on Strength.
	<br><br><b>[[Coordination (Attribute)\|Coordination]]</b> is		<br><br><b>[[Endurance (Attribute)\|Endurance]]</b> is fairly important for mages, and especially important for martyr mages. Higher endurance means more Health and Stamina. For mages, stamina is important because you can use it to recharge your health and mana during combat. For Martyr mages, your damage is based on your current health, so the higher the better.
	<br><br><b>[[Quickness (Attribute)\|Quickness]]</b> is		<br><br><b>[[Coordination (Attribute)\|Coordination]]</b> is important for mages who take melee defense, but is otherwise not important. If you choose to take melee defense, higher Coordination will improve your skill and help you evade melee attacks, greatly reducing the damage you take in combat. Coordination also helps with secondary skills like Healing.
	<br><br><b>[[Focus (Attribute)\|Focus]]</b> is		<br><br><b>[[Quickness (Attribute)\|Quickness]]</b> is not very important for mages. Even for mages who take melee defense, it is better to invest in coordination, since it effects numerous other skills.
	<br><br><b>[[Self (Attribute)\|Self]]</b> is		<br><br><b>[[Focus (Attribute)\|Focus]]</b> is very important for mages. All four schools of magic, along with Mana Conversion, are based on Focus and Self.
			<br><br><b>[[Self (Attribute)\|Self]]</b> is the most important attribute for mages. Not only are all their primary skills based on Self, but so is their mana.
