Read spell books to gain stock in spells.

Please check this page for prices of spellbooks and magic rods.

Overview

Using a spell

When a spell is used, the user consumes one stock of the spell and MP to attempt to cast it.

Successful casting activates the spell, but failure to cast causes the spell to be inactivated.

• Casting skill affects the success rate of spellcasting.
• The PC's casting rate is reduced when mounted or parasitized by a pet.
• PC's casting rate will be reduced when heavily armed and shield equipped.
  • Learning the Heavy Cast feat reduces these penalties.

Domains

Characters will be assigned elemental domains at generation according to class.

Attack spells of the player's domains will be considerably more likely to spawn as loot or in shop inventories. This weighting only applies to attack spells and not healing or support spells.

• Some classes such as wizard or priest have the option to gain additional elemental domains as class perks in character generation.
  • However, not all elements are necessarily available for selection even with the perk; for example, wizards cannot obtain the holy domain.

• Class-related domains cannot be changed once character generation has been completed, but additional domains can be re-selected by joining the Mages' Guild and raising your rank.

Spell Level

Spellcasting gains experience for that spell and increases its spell level.

The higher the spell's level, the more powerful the effect, but the amount of MP consumed to use the spell will also increase proportionally.

Every spell has a related attribute, and the amount of spell experience gained increases to the extent that the related attribute exceeds the spell level.

Conversely, if the spell level exceeds the related attribute, the amount of spell experience gained is greatly reduced by the difference.

Spell Power

Spell power is a factor that relates to the strength of a spell.

Spell power varies depending on the spell level, related attribute, enhancements of Enhance spell and Anti Magic.

• The calculation of spell effects uses different formulas for different spells.
  • Offensive and restorative spells use the spell power and related attribute to calculate dice and bonuses, so the higher the attribute, the more effective the spell.
  • Buff spells do not use the related attribute to calculate their effect, so they must be used repeatedly to raise their spell level in order to increase their effectiveness.

• Enhance spell enchantment increases the power of spells.
• Anti-Magic enchantment decreases the power of spells.

Spell misfiring

Ranged attack spells such as bolt and ball can misfire and damage allies.

• The Control Magic skill inhibits spells from misfiring on allies and reduces the damage from misfires.
  • The PC's Control Magic Skill also applies to spells and abilities used by pets.
  • If the power of the spell is too high compared to the Control Magic skill, it will not suppress misfires.
• Eulderna' s Magic Precision Feat greatly suppresses spell misfires.

Mana Overflow

If the MP consumption is insufficient when using spells, mana overflow damage corresponding to the negative amount of MP will occur.

• The Magic Capacity skill reduces mana overflow damage.
• Eulderna's and Elea's Bonded With Mana feat significantly reduce mana overflow damage.

Obtaining Spelltocks

By reading a spellbook, you can learn its spells and obtain magic spell stocks.

Spellbooks can be purchased from NPCs in each town, such as sorcerers and magic store owners, or by exploring Nefia.

• The skill of reading is required to read spells of high difficulty.

• Memorization skill affects the number of spells read and the number of stocks obtained from reading spell books.
  • It also affects the acquisition of stock through spell dreams and absorption through mana batteries.
• If you run out of spells, you will not be able to use those spells until you acquire them again. Spell level is inherited, so there is no need to start training from the beginning.

Magic Dream

In the magic dream of sleep event, you can acquire spells of your domain element.

The probability of magic dreams occurring is increased for characters who possess class feats of magic mastery and Dream Waker feat.

• The spells available in magic dreams are limited to those for which a spellbook exists and the PC's stock is 0.
  • If you possess the Feat of Dream Waker, you will be able to obtain it regardless of your stock.
• If you possess the Feat of Dream Waker, the types of spells from which you can obtain the stock will increase according to the level of the Feat.
  • At level 1, you can obtain touch, arrow, bolt, and ball, and at level 3, intonation, bit, and miasma are added.

Mana Battery

The Ether Disease of the Mana Battery absorbs the number of uses of the spell rod you obtain and converts it to its spellstock.

• *Identify* or *Uncurse* spells can only be obtained from the stock by absorption with the mana battery.
• You cannot obtain wish stock by absorbing rod of wish.

NPC Spellcasting

Creatures other than the player, including your allies, operate according to different rules for spellcasting than players.

• NPCs do not require or consume spell stocks, and do not need spellbooks.
  • However, NPCs also cannot learn new spells from spellbooks. An NPC may only learn new spells throughGene Engineering.
• NPCs also do not level up individual spells by repeatedly casting them.
  • NPC's spell levels are determined by their character level instead. The power of spells is determined by comparing the character's level to the spell's associated ability, whichever has the higher power.

• NPCs are not limited to the types of spells available as spellbooks. They can use spells unavailable to the player, such as Mind Arrow.

Attack Spells

Attack spells of the player's domains will be considerably more likely to spawn as loot or in shop inventories. This weighting only applies to attack spells and not healing or support spells. See Elements for more details.

If more information about specific numbers is wanted, reference: Spell damage formula

Damaging(General)

Touch: Melee range, single tile target, low mana cost. Additional effects of the element are likely to occur.

Sword: Melee range, single tile target, penetrates the target's resistance. Hard to cause status abnormality of additional effects from element damage. Damage is increased by long sword skill.

Arrow: A single tile target ranged spell.

Bolt: A beam that pierces enemies and travels for 12 tiles. Can hit caster if it's stopped by an adjacent wall.

Ball: A 5x5 sphere Aoe centered about the caster. Damage reduces with distance from the origin.

Miasma: A damage over time spell. Cannot be stacked. Spreads to adjacent enemies when it ticks. Tick rate is based on global time. Bypasses elite status resistances. Can be cleansed with holy light or vanquish hex.

Intonation: Changes damage dealt by the wielder's physical attacks to that element and provides resistance to it. Resistance bonus depends on Charisma. Successful strikes consume a charge. Applies to melee, bow/gun, and thrown attacks.

Bit: Summons a magical wisp of that element that casts the associated arrow spell. Can move and is innately immune to its element.

Damaging(Unique)

Name	Domain	Main Stat	Targeting	Effect	Notes
Meteor	Fire	Magic	Self	Summons numerous meteor clusters over a wide area. Causing pillars of fire.	Unlike Elona, this is an AoE that spreads outwards from the caster until stopped by a wall. Damages caster.
Shatter Hex	Holy	Will	Hostile	Removes all hexes on target and damages surrounding enemies. Requires at least one hex on target to work.
Earthquake	Impact	Magic	Self	Causes earthquakes over a wide area (11 tile radius).	Increased damage for targets in gravity Half damage for levitated targets

Hexes

As with all hexes the creature can resist the application and the spell will "splash" and not stick. This is based on the creatures will stat versus your spell level. The given spell however if successfully casted on the creature has its effectiveness reduced in proportion to the spells given counter attribute. We will call this the resist stat. This goes both ways. If the enemy successfully lands a hex on the player or party member the effectiveness is reduced proportionally to the player's stat.

Example:

If Elemental Scar is successfully cast on an enemy with 44 endurance and the spell reduces the Fire/Cold/Lightning resistance by 32, the end result is a reduction of only -24

If Elemental Scar is successfully cast on an enemy with 869 endurance and the spell reduces the Fire/Cold/Lightning resistance by 32, the end result is a reduction of only -7

If Elemental Scar is successfully cast on an enemy with 1408 endurance and the spell reduces the Fire/Cold/Lightning resistance by 32, the end result is a reduction of only -6

Defense Spells

Spells whose target is a party can be cast on the entire party, including the caster, by long-pressing the icon.

You can also cast a spell on others by holding it in your hand and then right-clicking on the target.

Single-target healing also applies to mount and symbiote.

Talismans

(All talisman information tested with Sword Sage, and the Talisman Mastery feat.)

By using a Calligraphy Kit, spellbooks can be bound to melee weapons in the form of Talismans.

Sword Sages have the calligraphy tool from the start, and other classes can also purchase it at the furniture store in Mifu Village or obtain it through crafting.

How to use the calligraphy tool: Use the calligraphy tool→select a weapon and an attack magic book.

Talismans "cast" the spell as if the player had used it themselves, at the same spell level, domain bonus and same stat bonus that the player would ordinarily have from traditional casting.

Talismans do not consume MP, and have a 100% chance to trigger if the weapon attack hits and the melee hit does not drop the target instantly to critical health.

Talisman damage is rolled after weapon damage.

Casting in this manner *does* give the player the appropriate spell experience, but not the casting experience.

Talisman stock is gained at 1/2 the base rate of reading the book, with no bonuses from memorization.

When magic is activated, the stock is reduced by one and experience is gained for the magic used. However, no experience is gained in the casting skill.
