Traveling through the planes is more of an art than a science, these mages make their homes in strange and difficult terrain. Planes Mage channel the arcane to change the winds of battle and position themselves in the most advantageous locations they can. They pull from their knowledge of the various planes to summon creatures, shift within their plane, and even travel through to other planes. Though they seem unusually unfocused due to the travels through the various planes, their tactics on the battlefield are unparalleled.
Usually trained in strict environments, such as mage towers, it takes a lifetime to master the skills and be able to force allies and opponents to do what you need them to on the battlefield. They move like the winds themselves, never staying in one place for very long. Whether you stay on the battlefield, or you shift around it endlessly, the world is a chess board and everyone is a pawn.
