How can dwarfs be mages

I know this isn’t the dragon age universe or hell even the Tolkien universe but how can dwarfs be mages in wow

Everyone can be mages. Arcane is just a science, anyone who understands the rules can use them.

The dark iron taught them. They are very good at magic. They are made from titans who are magic masters, aligned with the arcane. Dwarves make natural mages as in wow it is tied to Mana, Arcane, and the magical language of runes.

And the explanation for warlocks?

Anyone can be Warlocks. All you need is a Demon working for you and the desire to understand fel.

They actually could be mages back in the vanilla beta but Blizzard scrapped them because it would give the Alliance one more mage race over the Horde

Because as mentioned, it can be taught and anyone can be a mage. Dwarf mages aren’t strange.

Btw, if you think those are weird then I’d remind you orc mages are a thing.

See that is weird, because one of the requirements of being a mage is being able to read about how to mage.

Same thing. The dark iron had the knowledge. And when they joined the alliance in cataclysm they taught the dwarves to be mages and warlocks. At first they originally altered skin tones and eyecolors for players to roleplay as dark iron dwarves. But then we had the allied race for them, so it’s more dark iron teaching the other dwarves. In cataclysm they had dark iron mages/warlocks teach dwarfs that class.

they’re easy and take less time than current world quests.

How can Dwarfs be mages, Goblins can be Shaman but Gnomes can’t?

Yep, it was even still listed as an available dwarf class in the booklet that came with the original game.

Yea Gnome Shaman honestly don’t fit… But I will never stop wanting a Mechagnome Druid Transformer.

How does a gnome using lightning magic not make sense? Lol. Blizz misses a big opportunity with mechagnomes.

The lightning makes total sense, but the rest of the elements not so much. Its crazy because all the Mechagnome animal forms are basically there…

Low center of gravity let’s them pickup mana easier.

Throwing magma makes no sense? Or water? If gnome shamans had guns to cast their magic it would have been perfect. Especially all those guns we had in mechagon with elemental magic. If mechagnomes had a hand laser to shoot their magic it would be a great way to use their casting magic as a gun.

Their casting animation honestly makes that seem what happens.

The elements have to respect you to be a shaman, thus Gnomes can’t.
