Every spell is governed by a stat. Spells rapidly gain experience depending on how high the governing stat is above the spell's level. However, if the spell's level is higher than the governing stat, spell XP is severely reduced based on the difference.

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


As of alpha, domains cannot be changed once character generation has been completed.
Class-related domains cannot be changed once character generation has been completed. But additional domains can be re-selected by joining the [[Elin:Guilds|Mages' Guild]] and raising your rank.
 
Domains are important in that spells that generate in shops and as loot will be heavily weighted towards a character's elemental domains. Spells outside of a character's elemental domain can still generate, but will be much rarer.


Spells of a character's elemental domains will also gain a 1d bonus to damage or healing.
