What are the Main Abilities of a Mage?

The main primary ability of Mages is high damage output through the use of arcane, frost, and fire abilities. Mages are able to provide high damage output through single and area of effect spells. They can also buff party members and port themselves and party members to major cities. In the frost talent tree they are granted superb damage absorption and shielding spells which provide them with powerful tools for staying alive.
