The Friend Nobody Likes: Casters are generally looked down upon or with suspicion by the other Classes due to their difficult personalities, indirect fighting styles, and penchant for misanthropic cunning.By the time most players will start getting other classes' Noble Phantasms upgraded, they'll likely have the Friend Point Casters already at Noble Phantasm 5.

Com Mons: THE single most numerous class in the game, with quite a large amount of Servants from the Friend point summon being casters.The innocent Sanzang is a Caster who fits the other half of the trope, since she's a very offensive-orientated Caster and she's not particularly the brightest person out there. If it was the original Illya from Fate/stay night, she'd fit the trope to a T. One of the most notable exceptions is Illya, because she is from Fate/kaleid liner PRISMAв†ILLYA. Brains Evil, Brawn Good: Most Casters are either amoral, or simply insufferable, with very few of them being outright heroic in character.Funnily enough, a lot of this also ends up applying to Nero Claudius Caesar, too, despite her being much older than the other examples she's still Man category (since she was largely just a mortal emperor), and she was an enormous patron of the arts and a creator of art (well, 'art') herself, which all means that when she manifests as Caster, she's actually surprisingly powerful, especially since she also has the concept of 'Imperial Privilege', as a force that allows her to do things because she's Emperor, backing her up, on top of her own latent potential as a Magus.The Caster class is the only class container that can materialize them. As the artists' 'heroic' deeds were done through their creations, this trope is the reason why they can be Heroic Spirits in the first place. Heroic Spirits of this category are people who made their name in history purely through their deeds and not supernatural interference, making it possible for people of ordinary descent to reach the Throne. The reason why there's a significant number of artists and scientists in this class is because of the Heroic Spirit of Man category.

Either it's what they were most famous for when they were alive, or it's how their intellectual/artistic achievements translate into superpowers through the Servant system.

The Archmage: They're the magic-using class, so the most powerful Casters will qualify as this by default (and nearly all Casters count as this when compared to baseline humans).

Shared TropesTropes which apply to most members of the class besides the exceptions should go here. Their class abilities are Territory Creation, altering surrounding lands in favor of their sorcery, and Item Construction, which allows the magus to create magical items and tools.

Those of the three Knight Classes can likely challenge any Caster who uses magecraft as their main offensive ability without a plan due to high Magic Resistance, while those of lesser resistance like the Rider class may require more strategy. However, they make up for this with exceptional intellect and powerful magecraft modern humans can no longer use. Due to not requiring any strong parameters, they generally have low combat abilities, and due to the majority of Servants having some form of Magic Resistance, this class is thought to be the weakest of all seven. Servants placed within this class are usually adept in magecraft and the only qualifying condition is mastery of magic of the highest caliber compared to the specific parameter requirements of the other classes. Caster is one of the seven normal Servant classes summoned for the Holy Grail War and is also one of the Four Cavalry Classes.
