Spellcasting
Overview
A magician is any character that purchases the magician skill. This skill gives the character the skill and power to cast some simple spells. Once a character has this prerequisite then there are a wide range of additional arcane skills and abilities that they can acquire.
Spellcasting
- You must expend personal mana or crystalized mana to cast a spell
- Every magician starts with four personal mana every day
- You cannot cast spells while wearing armour
- All spells require vocals clearly audible to everyone within a few metres
Any character that purchases the magician skill has four personal mana and is able to cast create bond, detect magic or operate portal. Each time a character purchases an extra spell they must choose one additional spell from the spell list.
Your character may also use crystalized mana to cast spells; a single crystal can be used to cast any single spell.
Your personal mana replenishes overnight.
All spell vocals require appropriate roleplaying which must include spell vocals in a clear voice audible to everyone within a few metres of you. All spells are one of two types, regular spells or offensive spells.
Rituals
- The realm lore skills allow a magician to perform rituals of that realm
Magicians may learn to perform rituals by buying lore in one or more of the six realms. There are many more rituals than spells and most are much more powerful but they take longer to perform and can only be cast using crystal mana. Most powerful rituals are so difficult that they require the cooperation of many magicians to successfully complete them.
Every time a magician purchases lore in a realm, they may select up to two rituals that they have mastered from the list of rituals in Imperial lore. A ritual is much easier and cheaper to cast once it has been mastered.
