"The nether is able to grant sorcerers powerful spells that can remove matter or create it. To be able to tap into the nether it requires the person to have unfaltering focus and to meditate from several minutes to even hours depending on the power of the spell they seek. This means that casting spells from the nether requires a fair bit of preparation. Regardless of the relatively unwieldy nature of these spell, sorcerers are not uncommon in the ranks of different armies. In conflicts they are far behind the conflict where they are able to focus an conjure their spells, sometimes this process takes so long that they battle has ended before they are done conjuring a single spell. One of the trademark spells of battlemages is the armor that they are able to conjure from the nether which makes them appear as one of its inhabitants. As their form will be covered with matter from the nether it is impenetrable by regular weapons and can be pierced mainly by other matter from the nether and a scarce few holy relics. As with all magic drawn from the nether, it will backfire on the user if they abuse its power. Each time they enter the nether it will always be something that they don't think it is and this will eventually lead to the nether becoming so unfathomably strange that it will break their mind and lead to them becoming consumed by it if they are careless."
