Will there be magic use in the game?

[Citizen One]

The game looks great, the concept is nice, but I love my mages! Will there be a class/skill options for magic use or are we stuck with bows, guns and melee?

[Rockslim]

Yes there will be magic.

Edit: From their site - "Combine skill and strength in melee combat, attack at range with precision, or master arcane attacks."

Will there be classes in New World?
No. Players can play and progress how they want. Players can create builds customized to their preference through our Weapon Mastery, Attributes, and Endless Tradeskill Progression systems.
there was a healer ability in alpha.

yes

I saw the FAQ you posted , but it said nothing specific about magic use. The Quote Rockslim posted I did not see... so thank you. Hopefully they will add more detail on the skills available, everything is very vague right now. If it has magic use I am in!

I was in the alpha that ended in June this year, and they hadn't added magic to the game at the time, but I was under the assumption that spells would come in a later build, take that for what it's worth. They did have magical gloves that you used to heal groups of people though.

There WILL be magic

But will be a specific class or build that is focused on magic? Does anybody knows? Thanks in advance

Nothing official yet, but it does look to me like magic will be tied into the weapons (mage staff for magic).
