Mage
You are the frailest hero in the roster, so one missed nova or meteor can crash your health from full to nearly dead in a single floor.
Inflicts:
Stunned
Burning
Poisoned
Legacy
Vaelgor, the Traitor Flame (Demon)
Vaelgor ruled the deep places until the dungeon devoured his own dominion, so he climbed toward the light and offered the mortal realms a pact of fire. The champions never trusted him, and he still burned deeper into the dark than any of them. Reborn in his legacy, you will wield the enemy of your enemy, and be feared as he was.
