Magic

Magic has its own unique mechanics and rules. Each Wizard can use one elemental magic and one manifold magic. Tier 1 and 2 Spells are purchased like abilities, which can be used a limited amount of times. Tier 3 spells are purchased like skills, which can be used once per rank owned, per quest. Tier 1 and 2 magic refreshes at the end of every encounter (unlike abilities).

Much like Abilities, a player must work their way up to higher tiers of magic:

In order to gain access to the second tier of a magic type, a player must have a R1 Spell of the first tier of that magic type.
In order to gain access to the third tier of a magic type, the player must have spent 30 XP in that type of magic.

Tomes are an equippable “weapon” that typically enhance a player’s magic of a specific type:

A Tier 1 tome allows the player to cast R1, Tier 1 Spells of that type infinitely.
A Tier 2 tome allows the player to refresh all of their Tier 2 Spells after focusing for 30 uninterrupted seconds.
Other tomes exist that may have different effects, but they are not standard and thereby cannot be started with, or purchased from regular vendors.
