Spellcasting, sorcery, arcane arts, all the good stuff!
[p]Hello everyone,[/p][p]This time we will talk about magic.[/p][p]
Spellcasting[/p]
Atre Magical planes[/p][p]Just a short reminder on four of our magical planes[/p]![]()
[/p][p][/p][p]Every point above one will give you additional research speed for all spells of that plane. Once we have picked our attributes it's time to jump to our research tree in the game.[/p][p]
There is tons of spells for researching, and it’s up to you to pick on which ones you want to focus first. This is also a crucial part of your strategy.[/p]![]()
Note: UI is not final, and it will be improved, this is just an example[/p][p]
Research and levels of the spell[/p][p]Once the spell is successfully researched it’s not over. Your knowledge of that spell will be barely enough for you to cast it, and while you have access to all of the spell levels straight away, you will simply not be able to invest enough mana to cast a spell in any reasonable time. [/p]![]()
[/p][p]It’s smart to invest into researching same spell further, and gain as much knowledge about it as possible, later this will enable you to cast higher levels of that same spell in a very few days, which might be the difference between victory and defeat.[/p][p][/p][p]Each spell takes a certain amount of days to successfully cast it, and once it’s casted the spell will take effect.[/p][p][/p][p]Certain factors can affect your spellcasting, we will talk more about them in our next blog next week when we talk about Initiating spells & Casting spells[/p][p][/p]![]()
Example of endgame spell where you siphon mana from all the inhabitants of the region[/p][p][/p][p]We know a lot of you are eager to jump into a playtest, but we just want to get game into a really polished state, so that we get some advanced and cool feedback.[/p][p][/p][p]We are also working on a new gameplay showcase and trailer for you all.

There is tons of spells for researching, and it’s up to you to pick on which ones you want to focus first. This is also a crucial part of your strategy.[/p]
- [p]Do you want to focus on your weakest magical plane, or do you want to get strongest spells in the game from your own magical plane first, it’s totally up to you.[/p]
- [p]There is no requirement other then your Omnipresence of which spell you can research, so you can skip spells that you are not interested in[/p]

- [p]Unless it’s denied by an enemy(or friend?)[/p]
- [p]Or your friend decides to abandon the spellcasting and you do not have enough plane difficulty to cast a spell[/p]
- [p]Or you run out of mana[/p]
