I tried red fire mage, but either I lose at the apprentice contest, or at the old mage. I know I don’t actually have to win them, but I think it should be possible. The problem is that the apprentices focus on low attack and mana burn while the old mage focuses on high attack and low defend, which means you can never get your attacks right to beat the both of them. I beat the game as a dark fire mage by not helping with the assassination, because I didn’t have to fight a red fire mage at that point. No fights lost, and only needed to fight three of six clan leaders.
