Spells

Shock

One of the first techniques learned by apprentice mages, by concentrating directly on the path between themselves and their target young mages modify the polar field around them causing a mass electrical discharged, thus instantaneously forming a bolt of lightning.

The weakest of the offensive Mage spells, Shock is available at level 1 from any Mage guild for 100 gold. It costs 3 MP to cast.

Sphere

In balance with their first offensive spell, young mages learn this defensive spell soon after. The young apprentices are taught to channel their energy out and around themselves, thus forming a weak but definitely present barrier around their body. This spell proves useful against the foes normally faced by magic users at the time.

The weakest of the armor spells for Mages, it is available at level 2 from any Mage guild for 300 gold. The effect lasts for 1 minute and costs 6 MP to cast.

Vortex Gate

When high concentrations of magical energy are present in a small area, it is possible for an experienced mage to use the control of their own energies to manipulate the magical field around them. If done properly they may cause a rip in the fabric of existence itself. Upon passing through this rip one may feel disoriented for a few moments, as senses return realization of being in a familiar place is common.

Vortex Gate is a transportation spell that is available from any Mage guild at level 20 for 5000 gold. It costs 40 MP to cast; however, it can only be cast on squares that have a Vortex Gate enabled. "Use" the Vortex Gate to enter it. The amount of time it remains open can vary from a second to a minute.

Also see Vortex Gate and Scroll of Vortex Gate for uses.

Flame

Through years of discipline the experienced mage is able to focus his mental power and draw from the natural energies around enabling him to create a massive ball of fire hot enough to melt through the sturdiest armor and consume his foes in battle.

Flame is the next offensive spell that Mages learn after Shock. It can be purchased from any Mage guild at level 15 for 1000 gold. It costs 5 MP to cast.

Blast

An impressive trick of the skilled mage is the ability to use their powers to disturb the kinetic energy flowing through the area. When focused intensely, a violent reaction occurs causing a destructive wave of energy to lash from the caster, injuring those who chose to challenge the caster.

Blast is the next offensive spell learned after Flame, at level 20. It costs 2500 gold in any Mage guild. Blasts costs 8 MP to cast.

Beam

By focusing magical energy into a beam of light, an experienced mage can deliver incredible amounts of damage on an unsuspecting foe. Though due to the extreme focus and concentration required to perform this spell, much practice and training is necessary for a mage to enlist the use of this powerful beam.

Beam is the best readily available offensive spell for Mages. It can be purchased from any Mage guild at level 25 for 5000 gold and costs 15 MP to cast.

Protect

An interesting twist on defensive spells is the aura of protection. By modifying their energy ouput they may shield themselves from inanimate objects such as traps and flying objects. The downside is that the spell has no power if the cause of an assault is directly willed such as someone attacking.

Protect is a defensive spell that shields the Mage from most traps. It is available at any Mage guild for 500 gold at level 12. It costs 15 MP to cast and the effect lasts for 90 seconds. Note: Some death traps bypass the spell and some don't, so in places such as the Icy Cavern, a Mage can use the spell to walk into death traps and live to tell about it!

Also see Protect for full range of uses.

Enhanced Sphere

Similar to the spell learned during apprentiship, where they are taught to channel their energy out and around themselves, but at this level the sphere is much stronger as the spellcaster has more energy and focus at his disposal.

Enhanced Sphere is, as the name implies, a more advanced version of Sphere. It is available from any Mage guild at level 15 for 1000 gold. It costs 15 MP to cast and the effect lasts for 1 minute.

Mana Shroud

Mana Shroud is a defensive armor spell learned at level 23 from any Mage guild for 3000 gold. It costs 25 MP to cast and the effect lasts for 1 minute.

Haste

Haste increases the amount of stamina you regain by 1, so if you normally regain 3 stamina, you'll regain 4 while the spell is affecting you. It is available from any Mage guild at level 20 for 3000 gold. It costs 40 MP to cast and the effect lasts for 40 seconds.

Invisibility

Invisibility can be both an offensive and defensive spell, allowing the Mage to make himself invisible. It is available from any Mage guild at level 15 for 1500 gold. It costs 20 MP to cast and the effect lasts for 45 seconds. Can be cast on others.
