Archmage

Archmagi are a group of people hailing from the magical kingdom of Dalaran to represent the pinnacle of magical power. Weaving their intricate enchantments, these mages defend humanity with all the magical powers at their disposal. Mounted atop their trusty steeds, the archmagi brandish magical blades and ancient staves that serve to channel their fierce energies in battle. Though gruff and slightly aloof, these experienced wizards are a heartening sight upon any battlefield where the fate of humanity lies in peril.

Archmagi can come from any arcane caster class as long as they have a sufficient level of arcana and spellcraft knowledge. They must have the ability to cast arcane spells and spells from at least five of the schools of magic at a certain level of proficiency. They must also spell focus in two schools of magic. Archmagi of the Kirin Tor forbid warlocks and necromancers from their ranks.WoWRPG 92

Warcraft RPG class

Archmage was a class found in the Warcraft RPG which exists in the world of Warcraft. It is detailed in the DMG (Dungeon Master's Guide) and incorporated into the Warcraft RPG. Characters with this class appeared in Lands of Conflict and Shadows & Light.LoC 90-91 S&L 41-42, 47

The DMG described the Archmage class as;

The highest art is magic -- often referred to as the Art. Its most advanced practitioners are frequently archmages, characters who bend spells in ways unavailable to other spellcasters. An archmage gains strange powers and the ability to alter spells in remarkable ways, but must sacrifice some of her spell capability in order to master these arcane secrets.

Note: That while the class itself is an official class in the Warcraft RPG, the DMG description does not represent an official source of lore. Also, the class never received a formal article in the Warcraft RPG until the release of World of Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game when it was adapted and replaced with the Archmage of Kirin Tor.

Archmage of Kirin Tor

In World of Warcraft: The Role Playing Game, the generic Archmage class was replaced with the Archmage of Kirin Tor prestige class, which included a Warcraft lore description.
