Supernatural Realm Mage Path
The Supernatural Realm Mage path is the arcane option among the four, and the third most picked: 7,111 players had earned its Spark of the Arcane badge ("Become a Mage") by October 30, 2026, about a third as many as the Werewolf or Vampire paths. Mages follow their own questline, climb tiers and split into variants with a signature move each. The game's night rifts sound arcane, but nothing published ties them to Mages.

How to become a Mage
Every character starts Human in Ashfall. You become a Mage in the game world, and the Spark of the Arcane badge confirms it, as the Supernatural Realm badges list shows. The exact steps have not been published; finish Harald's training first (see the Supernatural Realm beginner guide) and follow the prompts.
Supernatural Realm Mage tiers, skills and variants
Mages climb the shared tier ladder: Tier V at level 350 unlocks the fourth skill and Apex is the final tier. Mage variants, their signature moves and the earlier spells have not been named by any source. Supernatural Realm tiers lists what is known about the ladder.
How to get the Mage path
Create a character, finish Harald's training and follow the Mage route in the game world; the Spark of the Arcane badge marks it. Use the Supernatural Realm codes first for free Moon Shards.

Supernatural Realm Mage path FAQ
Why do fewer players pick Mage?
Nothing published explains it. The badge counts only show that Mage is about a third as common as Werewolf or Vampire; see the Supernatural Realm best path guide for the comparison.
Can I switch from Mage to another path?
Yes, through Father John, who makes you Human again at level 25 without your skills, bloodline or faction.
