I just downloaded the client and I am trying to make a Stormcaller mage. However, when I click the mage soul, SC isn't there. How do I make a SC?

Every place I have read says that the Mage soul can start off with 10 different specs. When I try to make a mage, I only see 5; Gravelord, Sage, Pyromancer, Corruptor, and a locked one called Spellblade. Do I need to pay the $15 / month to be able to get the other 5 or do I need to just make a class and unlock the Stormcaller at a later level? Any help appreciated. Thank you.

unless i'm misinterpreting your post, you're just looking at the default preset specs that trion has provided for you. i don't have a mage, so i cant be sure, but i don't recognize any of the 5 you listed as souls

that being said, there's a variety of different souls that mage can choose from i.e. chloromancer, pyro, warlock, necrolist, elementalist, a few others that i can't remember

in order to customize your spec (you may have to either purchase a new role or reset your current points in order to do this, but those are both cheap the first time), just click on the square picture next to the name of the soul that has already been chosen, and a list will pop up. you can choose any of the available ones to customize exactly what you want your spec to be like, and you can do this for all 3 soul trees that you see on the screen. there is a TON of customization available with all your souls , since you can choose any 3 that you would like to work together. hope i helped, feel free to pm me if i was unclear on anything.. harder to explain it text , but hopefully you can get it.

This helped me a ton. I am an idiot All I had to do was start with one of the preset specs, as you said, and click the icon to change in to SC. Thank you so much for your help!
