||
| − | '''Ogre mage''' (aka '''ogre-mage''' or '''ogre magus''') are smarter, spellcasting versions of [[ogre]]s. Ogre magi came into existence in the Second War, when the orc warlock [[Gul'dan]] carved up the [[High elf|elven]] [[Runestone at Caer Darrow]] and used its mystic powers to imbue Ogre enforcers with the ability and intelligence to cast [[spell]]s. The experiment was a success, with the only noticeable side effect the fact that it turned the ogres’ skin blue. A small price to pay for the power they wield — indeed, blue skin is now a sign of cunning, potential and might among ogres. In many ways, ogre magi are similar to their less intelligent brethren. They belong to the same society. Because of their intellects and magic powers, ogre magi are often in leadership positions in an ogre clan. However, because they focus on developing their spellcasting potential, they are often not as strong physically as other ogres, and ogre chieftains and warlords are usually mighty barbarians or warriors instead of magi. However, such a leader usually has one or more ogre magi advising and assisting him.<ref name="APG 27">''[[Alliance Player's Guide]]'', 27.</ref> |

| − | In the [[Second War]], warlocks required a series of rituals and an [[Altar of Storms]], created from a sliced piece of elven runestone, to turn normal ogres into ogre magi. [[Alliance of Lordaeron|Alliance]] forces destroyed many altars of storms in the Second War and its aftermath; the high elves in particular had a strong desire to eliminate the tainted magic. Few altars still exist, but ogre magi still appear in the most unlikely locales. Some speculate that ogre magi can breed to produce their own kind(confirmed by Torkus and his many sons), while others think that some ogre magi — or darker forces — have developed a way to create more of them. Whatever the case, though ogre magi don’t appear in the numbers they did in the Second War, they are still a part of Azeroth. Because of their intelligence, and the fact that they often desire to search for arcane knowledge to enhance their spellcasting abilities, ogre magi are more likely to adventure than other ogres. Their spells, combined with their physical might, make them self-sufficient. They are uncommon, and meet with stares or violence in civilized towns, but they possess the smarts necessary to talk their way out of many volatile situations. Ogre magi allied with the [[Stonemaul]] clan are welcome in any Horde settlement, but the Alliance views all ogres as savages and enemies.<ref name="APG 27" /><ref name="APG 28">''Alliance Player's Guide'', 28.</ref> |

| − | The ogre magi were originally a small band of extremely loyal ogre enforcers, transformed by Gul'dan into scheming and malicious sorcerers. By warping and twisting the elf-magics of the Runestone at Caer Darrow, Gul'dan was able to infuse the magical abilities of long dead Warlocks into the bodies of these unsuspecting hosts. Once hulking simpletons, the transformed ogre magi can direct their death magics as easily as their lesser cousins would deliver a crushing blow to any foolish enough to stand in their path. The ogre magi have also become extremely cunning and insidious - serving the Horde only as they see fit.<ref name="W2Man 73">''[[Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness|Warcraft II]] manual, 73.</ref> Ogre magi are intelligent, spell-wielding ogres. In the Second War, the orc warlock Gul'dan and a group of ogres captured the elven runestone at Caer Darrow. The runestone held great power, and Gul'dan had the ogres hew it into slabs. From these slabs Gul'dan created altars of storms, which harnessed old dark magic to transform normal ogres into intelligent spellcasters.<ref name="HPG 214">''Horde Player's Guide'', 214.</ref> Warlock Gul'dan needed spellcasting champions in the Second War. He mutated certain ogres, creating two-headed beings with a natural affinity for magic.<ref name="MoM 74">''[[Manual of Monsters]]'', 74.</ref> The most famous ogre mage was [[Cho'gall]], Gul'dan's apprentice. Altars of storms appeared in many orc camps in the Second War, but the Alliance destroyed most of them in the time since. A few altars of storms are still scattered about in desolate places, and their evil magic draws dangerous beasts. Perhaps a powerful warlock could make use of one of these altars to create more ogre magi.<ref name="HPG 214" /> |

| − | Ogre magi are less chaotic than their brethren. Their intellect creates an awareness of power structures and allows them to understand political machinations. Ogre magi respect power; thus they served Gul'dan in the Second War. Most ogre magi are ambitious and seek to secure both political and magic power.<ref name="HPG 214" /> These ogre magi have since become the spiritual leaders of the ogre tribes. They provide spells and magical items to protect the tribes from more established civilizations. Magi are the healers, record-keepers, and advisors to the chieftains.<ref name="MoM 74" /> A given tribe will have ogre magi, usually one for every ten individuals. That is a twenty member tribe will have two ogre magi or one ogre magus. Occasionally a chief will be an ogre magus, but this is rare. They favor the sorcerer class, though healers, shamans, and warlocks are common. A few rare ogre magi become wizards, but the need for writing materials can limit their pursuit of magic.<ref name="MoM 75">''Manual of Monsters'', 75.</ref> |
