Magic 101

Parameters of the Standard Spells

Note: These figures are for a level 2 character with a Mercantile skill of 6, Personality of 38 and Willpower of 64, with magical skills as listed. Hopefully they should give an indication of 'worst case scenario' in gold and spell costs. And contrary to the information in the manual, not all spells are available in all guilds.

Key:
School: A=alteration, M=mysticism, T=thaumaturgy, D=destruction, R=restoration, I=illusion
Range: C=caster, T=touch, TR=target at range, AC=area around caster, AR=area at range
Element: F=fire, C=cold(frost), E=electricity, P=poison, M=magic

* - these are spells found in the game that are not listed in the manual. Most of their ranges differ a bit in format from those used in the listed spells, and one wonders if they were left over from play testing at some stage.

Notes:

A - The element used here is 'frost', though whether that makes any difference to the working I don't know.
B - The duration here is odd, I can't get the spellmaker to allow a level beyond 20!
C - This is very bizarre. The spell lists no effect but if you click in the box anyway it lists the given details! I'm told it works for jumping fences!
D - So far I have been unable to find this spell anywhere and am debating consigning it to the 'not in game' category. If you've found it, please let me know.
