Basilius is a close-ranged mage whose mobility and disables allow him to take over the battlefield. Warp is an incredibly versatile tool whose only weakness is its noticeable delay. While Reverberate is his only nuke, it definitely serves its purpose given the low cooldown. Its stun is difficult to hit but is very rewarding for those who can position well. To survive in the middle of the enemy where he is most effective, Reinforce ensures that the Sealed Magus won't be blown up as long as his magic keeps flowing. When the time calls for it, Basilius can Unleash Power to further his devastation and control. Use it to save himself, save an ally, remove an enemy or just cast it to become a nuclear powerhouse, few can survive once his shackles are thrown off.
A simple teleportation spell turns into a tool of annihilation once one is exposed to enough Basilius stone.

Lore
Basilius stone is a durable conduit of magical power, allowing magi who wear equipment made of the rare material to boost their capabilities. A grand wizard decided to monopoly it for himself, eventually replacing his own name with it once he controlled all the stone. He fashioned jewellery, equipment and even a castle with the substance, slowly absorbing its power to channel greater feats of magic never thought possible. But power always corrupts. Soon, the wizard believed himself to be an almighty God and planned to conquer the world. As Basilius gave the command, his once loyal subjects devised a coup to stop him in his tracks. They contacted an ancient artisan to fashion them a marvelous ring made of Basilius stone with specific properties. And as he put the ring on as a good luck charm before his plan of world domination, the stone reacted violently to his abundance of magic. Instead of causing his powers to grow, his powers caused it to grow. And grow it did until his entire body was encased in the precious material he adored so much, unable to break free of this prison. With that, the wizard was sealed away where he could no longer do any harm.
It is this ring fashioned in the same way that is now passed to all great practitioners of magic. Not only to amplify their abilities, but to also remind them of this story and the lesson of humility. The circulation of Basilius stone is now controlled by the magical council to prevent any one person from acquiring too much. After all, power always corrupts. So even if a mage tried to find more of this substance, it has been scattered so much that it would be impossible to find a large enough deposit to strengthen them in a way that would justify the effort. Or... is there a way to find a huge chunk of Basilius somewhere in this world? Just waiting to be cracked.
