Posts from Magic and new spells.

In "Crossworlds," almost all of the Wrath Spirit abilities from "Lore" have been added, in addition to "Time Warp," which first appeared in "Princess." So, here are the new spells: From Zerok: "Stone Spikes," "Stone Rain." From Slaim: "Poison Spit," "Piranha Swarm," "Gluttonous Armor." From Lina: "Ice Orb" (i.e., "Ice Ball"), "Gizmo." From Reaper: "Soul Steal :cool:", "Black Hole." I suggest we discuss these spells and magic in general (which underwent significant changes in "Princess" and "Crossworlds," so the topic is relevant and doesn't belong in the "Lore" section) here :). The new spells are mainly obtained by completing quests. For "Black Hole," as the most powerful spell, a separate quest was created. If Amelie becomes Mysticus's apprentice, you can take a quest from him in which he asks you to buy black demon hide from Lew Klysian :p. Then, upon the apprentice's return, he asks you to kill him, and then defeat him in battle so that he can return to his body :smile04:. Despite all this complexity, in addition to the required money, Amelie will receive three "Black Hole" scrolls (Chaos magic) in her spellbook. All that remains is to learn the spell and enjoy its effectiveness :). Of course, with a warrior's low intelligence, "Black Hole" is not effective. But enthusiastic exclamations from the official forum prove that with all the mental power of a mage, this spell becomes almost overpowered :). This spell is also enhanced by the "Destruction" skill, the "Dragon Cloak" and "Destroyer's Gauntlets" artifacts, and some others :).

I would like to add a few things.

Every self-respecting mage should (or should not :p) have several useful spells in their spellbook. Due to the limited number of crystals, I present this list as follows:
Stage 1: "Fire Bolt"
Stage 2: "Fire Bolt", "Fireball", "Stone Skin" (we start earning medals :))
Stage 3: "Fire Bolt", "Fire Storm", "Trap" (I earned the "Guardian Angel" medal to level 2 before getting "Fire Storm" - it didn't go further); (The "Trapper" medal is the most difficult - level 1, then one independent trap helps ;))
Stage 4: "Geyser", "Fire Bolt" ("Fire Bolt" is good for hitting a single stack of enemies with full force, and then finishing them off with "Geyser"; the "Fire Mage" medal is also still relevant ;))
Stage 5: "Black Hole" + "Resurrection" (Black Hole allows you to destroy all stacks without losses, but "Resurrection" will help in battles with bosses :)).

Result: "Fire Mage" - level 3, "Trapper" and "Guardian Angel" - level 2. Lots of fun with "Black Hole" :).

Note: there is a skill called "Alchemy" that reduces the cost of learning spells for crystals - it helps a lot.
Note: the "Fire Storm" spell is NOT A FIRE SPELL :eek:!!! It does not increase the counter for the "Fire Mage" medal.


I enjoyed playing as a mage more than as a warrior; it's a more interesting process. Throughout the game, I had minimal losses, and I completed the battle with Zilgadis without any losses (screenshot attached). I played on easy, so it often became boring. I think playing on "normal" will fix this shortcoming :):).

No offense, but the Arsenal from the same series – hitting everyone on the head with a club – made them all die. On an impossible difficulty level, a level 3 Phoenix would be more useful. (IMHO)
