The '''Thunder Mage''' (サンダーマージ, ''Sandaa Maaji'', or 雷魔道士, ''Kiminari Madoushi'', meaning "thunder mage") class is a playable [[thunder (magic)|thunder magic]]-using class that appears in {{FE4}} and {{FE10}}. They appear along with the [[Fire Mage]] and [[Wind Mage]] classes, along with the original [[Mage]] class in ''Genealogy of the Holy War''.
The '''Thunder Mage''' (Japanese: <ruby><rb>{{Hover|雷魔道士|Raimadōshi}}</rb><rt>{{Hover|サンダーマージ|Sandāmāji}}</rt></ruby> ''Thunder Mage'') is a [[:Category:Base classes|basic]] magical [[class]] which was introduced in {{FE4}}, appearing only in it and {{FE10}}. The class is one of three element-specialized versions of the [[Mage]] class of other {{FES}} games, along with the [[Fire Mage]] and [[Wind Mage]], and as its name suggests it specializes in [[thunder (magic)|thunder magic]] and is unable to wield any other magic type.


Although thunder mages can only use one type of magic, they are more concentrated in that area. Overall, they are slightly weak, being an unpromoted class. However, they have quite high [[Skill (stat)|skill]], meaning they will hit very often. They have low [[defense]], like most magic-using classes, so they should be protected from enemy attacks.
The Thunder Mage plays near identically to standard Mages as a purely offensive magical class, differing only in being restricted to wind magic. Thunder Mages have high [[Magic (stat)|magical power]] and [[speed]], allowing them to somewhat reliably [[Attack speed|double-attack]] enemies, and in particular making them notably adept at killing slow, heavily-armored [[Knight]]s. However, Thunder Mages have low [[HP]] and [[defense]], making them highly susceptible to being killed or severely damged in one shot by most physical units.


In ''Genealogy of the Holy War'', thunder mages promote to the [[Mage Fighter]] class. Later, in ''Radiant Dawn'', they promote to the [[Thunder Sage]] class and then the [[Archsage]] class.
In ''Genealogy of the Holy War'', Thunder Mages promote to the [[Mage Fighter]] class. In ''Radiant Dawn'', Thunder Mages instead promote to the [[Thunder Sage]] class, which in turn promote to the [[Arch Sage]] class.
