General Info
Mana
A wizard starts with 2 Mana from level 1 and gains two more points of maximum mana every level. For every hour of rest, he restores one-fifth of his maximum mana available, always rounded up. Casting spells cost mana based on their grade, meaning a grade 1 spell will cost 1 point of mana, while a grade 4 spell will cost 4 mana, for example. Spells of an Advanced school of magic cost twice as much mana as usual.
The amount of available mana can be further increased by items carried by the wizard or by his choice of magic focus.
Spellcasting
Main article: Spellcasting
In order to cast spells, the wizard may require the use of a magic focus, which can be a staff, a catalyst, a wand, or a quarterstaff. Spells that require this will be marked with a 'F' (Focus) in their requirements.
Many spells also require a spoken phrase in order to be cast, which will be marked as a 'V' (Vocal) requirement. Additionally, higher-grade spells are only available at a higher class level.
Spell Attunement
Progressing in the wizard's class levels eventually unlocks spell attunement slots. Spell attunement allows you to cast a spell without the need for a Focus and Vocal requirement. Additionally, the spell does not require any mana anymore. In order to change an attuned spell, the wizard must spend at least 8 hours resting. Unless explicitly specified, the spell must be from a basic school of magic.
Schools of Magic
The following Schools of Magic are available for wizards to learn from:
Basic / Advanced | School of Magic | Type |
---|---|---|
Basic | Fire | Offensive |
Basic | Cryo | Offensive / Controling |
Basic | Volt | Offensive |
Basic | Fundamentals | Utility |
Basic | Transmutation | Support |
Basic | Illusion | Support |
Basic | Enchanting | Offensive / Support |
Advanced | Advanced Fundamentals | Utility |
Advanced | Dark | Support / Utility |
Advanced | Chaos | Offensive |
Advanced | Gravity | Offensive / Control |
Note: it is highly recommended to choose an offensive school at level 1, as other schools sometimes don't offer new spells at each grade.
Additional Spell Capabilities
Apart from the schools of magic that a wizard can choose from during his adventure to learn from, he can also study scrolls, books, or inscriptions of spells he finds around the world. Learning spells in this way allows the wizard to use the spell as if he were skilled in it, even if it is part of a school he is not skilled in. Learning a spell this way requires you to study the scripture in question for at least 8 hours; if the scripture is a scroll, it will be consumed in the process.
Leveling
As the wizard increases in class levels, he will unlock certain traits and skills that allow him to become more powerful. The Schools of Magic "Fundamentals" and "Advanced Fundamentals" are automatically learned at their respective levels and do not count towards your school limit.
