Wizard
I'm going to magic missile the darkness.
Wizards are the can-all do-all guys of pretty much all systems. You want something done? there's a spell for it. It may not be quite as effective as the 'hands-on' method, but it's close enough (and sometimes better).
Wizards are known to put on a robe and wizard's hat every morning.
The preferred class of people who hate to lose.
