Elin:Itzpalt of Element

ENJA

Name	<Itzpalt of Element>

名前	『元素のイツパロトル』

The red-haired duke who has existed since the most ancient of times, and who prides himself on being the chief of the Gods. His wings, which change their brilliance in five colors, are sometimes covered in a flame that consumes everything, and sometimes with a dew that freezes everything. There was a time when he was in a state of despair due to his remorse for not having prevented the death of his beloved Goddess Odina, but he has recently been recovering.

Overview

The grandiose ruler of Ylva's pantheon, Itzpalt nevertheless gives credit where it's due.

Worship of Itzpalt is focused on pure caster archetypes; while hybrid character archetypes like warmage can also benefit from his bonuses, Horome may be better suited to their needs. With bonuses to magic, meditation, and fire, ice and lightning resistances, Itzpalt is focused on increasing your MP pool and elemental resistances. Compared to Elona, his resistance boosts are now considerably more attractive with how resistances work now; it's possible to eventually become completely immune to fire, ice and lightning damage at 20 resistance each. This is compounded by there being fewer equipment slots to go around, so innate protection against these damage types is a considerably more attractive choice now.

With prayer now costing no piety and death protection costing stamina to activate, absorb stamina is less attractive, but it's always good to have options.

Apostle

The exile is the undisputed king of single-target magic damage amongst pets; while his dartcasting has been reduced from three darts in Elona to two, both darts deal full damage. This means that there's no loss in damage from Elona, where the second and third darts only dealt half damage. An added bonus is that he's innately immune to nether, dark and magic damage, the first two of which appear often on undead enemies.

Elemental Staff

The Elemental Staff provides fire, ice and lightning resistances and enhancing magic as a faction effect. While the bonus to elemental resistance may be redundant for the player, it is attractive to be able to give resistance to all of your friends and My Home's inhabitants. The magic-enhancing effect is a must-have enchantment for Izpalt followers, who are likely to be primarily magic attackers. The benefits that only the person who equips it can gain include increased mana, additional elemental damage, and the effect of activating elemental scars. Most notably, this weapon is a Force weapon that references magic, magic devices, and casting in its attacks. This allows even ineffective wizards to inflict high melee damage.

How to gain favor

Now that Itzpalt also accepts spellbooks and all polearms, not just staves as offerings, he's much easier to worship. Mages following Itzpalt do have to decide between actually reading potentially pricey spellbooks or sacrificing them to their god, though. He will accept any ancient book, no matter what its content, so there are some insolent believers who offer him naughty books.
