Mages have not had any significant changes to their base play style. A number of changes have been made to their abilities and talents however that will change the play Maple Story Mesos style of many Mages. Only two abilities were changed for frost, including Frost Armor and Ice Armor, both of which had their mana cost reduced to 34% and 28% respectively. Additional changes include the spread of Arctic Reach to affect Deep Freeze, the alteration of the rank and mana cost of Elemental Precision, Empowered Frost bolt, Frost Channeling, Frost Warding, and Frostbite, and the removal of Improved Frost Nova altogether.
