Magic

Magic has its own unique mechanics and rules. Each Wizard can use one elemental magic and one manifold magic. Tier II spells are purchased like abilities, which can be used a limited amount of times. Tier I and III spells are purchased like skills, which either act like passives or can be refreshed per quest. Tier II 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 Tier II of a magic type, a player must have the Rank I of the Tier I of that magic type.
In order to gain access to the Tier III of a magic type, the player must have spent 30 XP in that type of magic.

All Tier I and III spells are purchased as skills. The player will only be able to use their highest Rank of Tier III spell. The player must choose one of the two Tier III spells in each of their magic types and will only have access to that one Tier III of that magic. Think of it like a baby "faction" choice for that school of magic.

All spells can be cast with a spell ball or through an organic weapon unless otherwise specified. All spells used on allies can be touch cast, cast with a spell ball, or cast through an organic weapon unless otherwise specified. Spells cannot be cast if the player is wearing inorganic armor.

Tomes

Tomes are an equippable “weapon” that typically enhance a player’s magic of a specific type. A player can only have 1 tome active per encounter.

Bolt Tomes

A Bolt Tome allows the player to cast one of their types of magic as a bolt. Bolts are thrown as a spell packet that deals 3 damage.

Elemental

Hydromancy: The player gets +1 bolt damage in stormy and underwater environments.
Kairomancy: The player gets +1 bolt damage when at ½ or more charge stacks.
Pyromancy: The player gets +1 bolt damage from Building Flame.

Manifold

Avlomancy: The player gets +1 bolt damage to the next bolt used against an enemy that was just hit by a Life Linked target.
Kinesiomancy: The player gets +2 bolt damage to the next bolt used against a target affected by forced movement.
Neuromancy: The player gets +2 bolt damage to the next bolt used against an enemy that is affected by a Neuromancy spell.

Defense Tome

In order to focus and use the refreshed spells, the player must only have the Defense Tome equipped. Additionally, if the player chooses to deal damage or put away the tome, the effect will cease and all refreshed Tier II spells will no longer be usable. The Defense Tome’s effects reset at a new encounter.

A Defense Tome allows the player to focus for 30 seconds to refresh all their Tier II spells.
The player may focus again during the same encounter to refresh all Tier II spells at the Rank II and below.
The player may focus a third or more times during the same encounter to refresh all Tier II spells at Rank I only.

Enhanced Tome

An Enhanced Tome will enhance or alter the player’s Tier I spell in some way, specified by the type of magic.

Elemental

Hydromancy: The stance change time is decreased by half or 5 seconds (whichever is greater).
Kairomancy: If the player is at full charge stacks, they will only lose half of their stacks on use.
Pyromancy: The building flame stack requirement is reduced by 1 and the cap is increased by 2.

Manifold

Avlomancy: The player can life link to one additional target, and once per encounter they can immediately link to a new target.
Kinesiomancy: Surge also does 3 damage.
Neuromancy: The player gets 3 additional Mental Fortitude. They can spend 1 + the rank number of Mental Fortitude to cast a spell the player has without spending the spell.
