Spell Rules

Spells

When you start the game and choose to be a mage you start with 3 spells. New spells can be created every level or you can increase the strength of a previous one that you created and this will be a permanent change. There are 10 spell levels and your ability to cast higher level spells increases every 2 levels. Every player will be focused on a single school of magic; Damage, Heal, or Support. Later levels will allow you to learn the basics of another school (levels 5 and 15)

School of Damage: Focuses on magic to use in combat as a means of inflicting damage to enemies. They are varied in different ways and are completely up to you to decide how they damage.

School of Healing: Focuses on curative magic that is used to heal other players and heroic spirits. Not all methods of healing are the same. Healers also specialize in out of combat support.

School of Support: Focuses on magic that aids others in combat. Spells that shield, restrain, buff, or debuff are just some of the things a support can do.
