Confirmed combat identity
The Magician combines weapon attacks with elemental magic. Fire, ice, and lightning are named as elements, and the published role emphasizes adapting to different enemy weaknesses.
Build planning before launch
Pick the class for its elemental flexibility, then let your race and archetype choice shape the rest of the plan. A spell list, damage values, and ideal cast sequence are not yet confirmed, so a rigid tier list would be premature.
Useful early questions
When you play, check how spells share space with weapon attacks, which elements are actually available, and how attributes affect them. Those observations are more useful than assuming that every elemental school has the same job.
