Air Magic

Air magic is the ability to control air, such as manipulating its pressure, creating strong winds, etc. Air mages are very weak physically, even more so than other mages, but are extremely agile. Battlemages cannot wield air magic without enchanted artifacts.

Progression of Skills
Beginning air mages have very little capacity to damage with their magic; their only real ability is to create strong winds, though not strong enough to knock down most people. However, air mages can quickly become able to create astoundingly strong winds, manipulate air pressure to an moderate extent, and can learn air rendering. They can also gain a very large range with ease. Air mages who focus on controlling air pressure can branch off into Pressure Magic, and those who focus on powerful winds can branch off into Storm Magic.

Air Rendering
Air students, air weaponmages, and pure air mages of sufficient skill are able to air render, which is one of air magic's most useful abilities. Air rendering is the recreation of a motion some distance away using extremely powerful air currents. An example of this would be an air student punching towards an opponent standing 40 feet away, and their punch being recreated in the air so that it will strike their opponent with the same force as if they had been punching them normally. As a person's skill in air rendering increases, they are able to render increasingly large and complex motions.
