Help Index :: Magic :: Magic There are a few things to know about magic in this realm. Reagents (special items) are required for many spells. Some spells need to be prepared (see 'help prepare') before you can cast them. To see what spells you can learn at your level, type 'abil spell'. If you are playing spell-casting class you should have a lteast one spell. The number to the right of the spell describes your proficiency at casting the spell (10 being best). Your skill level in a spell has the chance to increase as you use the spell. To find out more about a particular spell, type "spell reagents, description, casting time, etc. To find reagents for a spell, look around in the wild or visit various shops scattered across the realms. Some are commonplace and widely available, and some are quite expensive and/or difficult to find. To cast a spell, type "cast that you have the proper reagents in your inventory, know the spell at at least level 1, and have enough energy to cast it. Energy is listed under the prompt next to the 'e'. It slowly regenerates up to some max that increases with level and intelligence. To see your current max, type "score". When you successful cast a spell you will begin to perform the necessary gestures. This can take from 1-5 turns. For mages (and eventually other delvers in the mystical arts), the amount of metal worn on one's body affects the casting cost of spells in terms of energy. This is due to how metal interferes with the magical fields and forces necessary for the proper casting of spells. If your spells suddenly jump in their casting costs, check your equipped items; you're most likely wearing something metal that is to blame. When spell casters are bashed (in addition to some other commands) by mobs or other players, a spell might be disrupted. Beware. Some spells are leech spells, and will remain active until you stop feeding them energy off of your max. Type leech and help leech to find out more about this. To find out the specific spells available to a class, type help Abilities. Additional help files that may be useful include spell, and leech. |
