Becoming a Magician
- Level 10: a Beginner becomes a Magician by talking to Grendel the Really Old at the Magic Library in Ellinia.
- Level 30: Grendel the Really Old starts The Magician's Next Journey and sends you with his letter to the Magician Job Instructor in The Forest North of Ellinia. He sends you into a hidden area to collect Dark Marbles from its monsters, then hands you The Proof of a Hero. Take it back to Grendel the Really Old to become a Fire/Poison Wizard, an Ice/Lightning Wizard or a Cleric.
There is no 3rd job advancement in Classic World yet.
