— Magistrate

Combining ancient Canthan celestial magic with modern Guardian spells, the path of the Magistrate was created to allow guardians greater control over their enemies and how they are able to assist their allies. Magistrates focus the power of the virtues as representations of celestial creatures bearing wards that are fueled by the power of the stars. These creatures act as guards to areas of the Magistrate's discretion, creating fields that defend against enemies. While attuned to these creatures Magistrates can further enforce their will through powerful glyphs attuned to the Celestials, providing various beneficial effects or further protections against enemies.

Magistrate skills

Profession mechanic

Magistrates have access to Celestials instead of their regular virtues, focusing that power into manifesting these creatures onto the battlefield. Due to the intense spell-work needed only two Celestials can be active, providing the Magistrate with only two of the guardian's traditional passive benefits. One Celestial assist the Magistrate in an active capacity, allowing itself to be directly manifested onto the battlefield, while a secondary Celestial provides it's natural passive ability. This ability to change between different Celestials is very much a kin a Weaver's ability to swap elements. Once an active Celestial has been selected, choosing them again will manifest them onto their battlefield turning the tide in the Magistrate's favor. A Celestial's domain is considered a light field with a radius of 300 units.
