Skills

Boxerrebellion: /* Developing your skills */

{{skillnav}}
=Introduction=
''The mages you can hire in Guilds can spend their time on thaumaturgical research, improving existing magic techniques. All this effort at some point can become useful even to most powerful mages, such as you. When you build Mage Guilds on your land, people working in them can not only help in researching new spells or uncovering ancient artifacts - they will also spend their time on mentioned thaumaturgy.''

The skills are divided into two groups: speciality-specific ({{White}}{{Red}}{{Green}}{{Blue}}{{Black}}) and non-specific (Plain, {{Plain}}) skills. The first group is the more powerful, but training color-specific skills other than your own color, takes double the time of developing a plain one.

When you train yourself in one skill, you increase your level in it. There are 20 levels in each skill, and attaining each next level is more expensive (see the table below). Off-color skills take twice the investment.

Reaching each new level, costs you its enumerator (at the lack of a better word) worth of ''skill points''. You gain these skill points at a rate based on [[turns|server speed]], and the square root of the number of [[guilds]] you keep.

=Developing your skills=
From time to time, when you have accumulated enough skill points, you level up the skill that you had activated in the skill page.

There are 10 different skills that a mage can develop slowly over time (see below)
You are advised to choose wisely what skill to activate for development.
You can switch attention later on of course, but you cannot withdraw invested skill points.

A cast of [[Wish]] can give you an instant skill point, and thus makes you reach a next skill level dozens of turns faster.

On Beta, the turns required to gain a skill point (if you have 5% guilds) are ~166k / land. That means that at 5k land, you gain a skill point every ~34 turns. So, leveling a skill from 0 to 1 takes 34 turns, while leveling a skill from 19 to 20 requires ~670 turns at 5k land and only ~630 turns, if you gain a free skill point from Wish.

You can easily develop one skill to level 20 over the course of an entire reset. Getting two skills to level 20 requires a much more substantial investment in guilds -- four times as many. Of course, you don't have to take skills all the way to level 20 -- you could get four skills to level 10 each in about the same time it takes to get one skill to level 20.

Developing off-color skills costs double the price of on-color or neutral skills.

=Tips on what skill to develop first=
Just pointing out the obvious about skills:
Its not what you take first and what second, its how you adjust skills to your game style.
A hoarder/defensive mage should obviously pick barrier resistance and grand enchanter to ensure his defense and his income while he masses up lots of money / items etc.
(also grand enchanter works perfectly for spells like confuse/dnd/Meteor storm, other than the obvious "love and peace" and "weather summoning")

A war mage on the opposite needs either barrier penetration, legendary commander or grand conqueror
for the same reasons.

If you are going to attack a lot then boost your attack powers !
If you are going to defend a lot boost your resistance. At all points choose what you like to do
in this game and pick the skills so you do it best way possible.

For those people that are a bit more knowledgeable about the game mechanics they could cut their losses.
That is to pick the skills that make up for your natural disadvantages as a player.
Someone who cannot play a full run properly due to lack of turns or bad use of mana then "augment summoning" will reduce the castings needed to make an army (thus less mana used also) and the first 3 ranks in the phantasm skill is 3% less mana cost on all spells. ( 4rth rank is -3.6% i dont know further [Edit: lvl 6 is -6%] )

Another thing to consider is how the skill will affect the end-game. The most common thing to do is either level a single skill to 20, or have a couple or more skills at 10. Consider how your choice of skill will leave you compared to other people with their own choice of skill. Will your level 20 Spell Penetration help when everyone has their army boosted by Legendary Commander 20? Will having gotten Grand Enchanter to 5 first mean you have less of the skill you trained second and put you at a disadvantage?

=Old Information=
Originally,
* You could store a maximum of 5 unused Skill Credits. If you gain a sixth, it is lost (until Feb. 2007)
* Spending a skill point took one turn -- discontinued when skill collection was made 'passive' (until Feb. 2007)
* Skill collection was based linearly on the number of guilds you had (not on the square root of that number), and only guilds up to 5% of your land total counted. So most mages ran exactly 5% guiilds, and high-land mages gained skill points 3 or 4 times as fast as normal mages. (changed ??? early 2009??)

Thunder Blade

2013-01-06T10:38:27Z

Boxerrebellion: /* Effects */

{{Itemstats
| description = It looks like a normal broad sword in first sight, but the whole blade sparkles in lightning and energy when it is drawn. The sword has a lightning elemental sealed inside it. It gives the wielder resistance to lightning attack and enhance the lightning magic of the wielder. Any creature struck by the thunder blade will be fried by raw energy.
}}
==Effects==
Adds LIGHTNING to your units attacks (adding 50% more to Air Elem) while adding/increasing lightning resistance (only increases AP of units with lightning attack type).

*It appeared to give '''+50% resistance to lightning attack''' (actual % resistance not confirmed) to all units in addition to '''+50% boost to primary attack power''' for units with any sort of lightning attack ability (AE, titan, astral magician, naga queen, dwarven shaman, dark elf magician, high elf, and djinni got it). Fun item for blue and white mages! (Source: Trojan)

Updated 1/6/13 - (BoxerRebelLion)

Beta: 
Thunder Blade nerfed by 40% in May 2010 and now affects secondary attack power too [http://www.the-reincarnation.com/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=26638] 
Thunder Blade nerfed by 50% in February 2011 [http://www.the-reincarnation.com/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=28154] 
Now should only have 15% boost for primary and secondary attack for units with lightning attack.

Spell Mastery

2010-08-26T06:46:45Z

Boxerrebellion: /* Level By Level */

{{skillnav}}

This [[Skills|skill]] will reduce the magic power needed to cast all spells, similar to the hero ability [[Spell Lore]]. The most powerful Spell Masters can reduce the number of turns needed as well.

=Effects=
* Each level: Reduces base spell casting cost by 1% for on-colour, 2% for near-colour, 3% for opposites.
* Level 20 bonus: Additionally, all spells cost one turn less to cast (minimum one turn).

 ** Note the base spell casting cost of spells on near-colours and off-colours. As a reminder:
<table>
<tr><td> </td><td>Spell Type</td><td>On-Colour</td><td>Near Colour</td><td>Opposite Colour</td></tr>
<tr><td> </td><td>Simple</td><td>100%</td><td>125%</td><td>200%</td></tr>
<tr><td> </td><td>Average</td><td>100%</td><td>150%</td><td>350%</td></tr>
<tr><td> </td><td>Complex</td><td>100%</td><td>200%</td><td>600%</td></tr>
<tr><td> </td><td>Ultimate</td><td>100%</td><td>N/A</td><td>N/A</td></tr>
<tr><td> </td><td>Ancient</td><td>100%</td><td>125%</td><td>200%</td></tr>
</table>

=Level By Level=
(confirmed for level 1 to 19)
* L1 : - 1% oncolour; - 2% nearcolour; - 3% offcolour
* L2 : - 2% oncolour; - 4% nearcolour; - 6% offcolour
* L3 : - 3% oncolour; - 6% nearcolour; - 9% offcolour
* L4 : - 4% oncolour; - 8% nearcolour; -12% offcolour
* L5 : - 5% oncolour; -10% nearcolour; -15% offcolour
* L6 : - 6% oncolour; -12% nearcolour; -18% offcolour
* L7 : - 7% oncolour; -14% nearcolour; -21% offcolour
* L8 : - 8% oncolour; -16% nearcolour; -24% offcolour
* L9 : - 9% oncolour; -18% nearcolour; -27% offcolour
* L10: -10% oncolour; -20% nearcolour; -30% offcolour
* L11: -11% oncolour; -22% nearcolour; -33% offcolour
* L12: -12% oncolour; -24% nearcolour; -36% offcolour
* L13: -13% oncolour; -26% nearcolour; -39% offcolour
* L14: -14% oncolour; -28% nearcolour; -42% offcolour
* L15: -15% oncolour; -30% nearcolour; -45% offcolour
* L16: -16% oncolour; -32% nearcolour; -48% offcolour
* L17: -17% oncolour; -34% nearcolour; -51% offcolour
* L18: -18% oncolour; -36% nearcolour; -54% offcolour
* L19: -19% oncolour; -38% nearcolour; -57% offcolour
* L20: -20% oncolour; -40% nearcolour; -60% offcolour

Updated August 2010 - starting at L15, blue ultimates cost 1 turn less. ex. Leviathan is 8 turns.

=Example=
* Example: Casting Shroud Of Darkness (Average,10000MP) by a L20 Spell Master...
** {{black}} Nether: 100% - 20% = 80% = 8,000MP
** {{red}} Eradication: 150% - 40%*150% = 150% - 60% = 90% = 9,000MP
** {{white}} Ascendant: 350% - 60%*350% = 350% - 210% = 140% = 14,000MP
*** This clearly shows that this skill is most useful for colours who want to have opposite units!

* Example of [[Spell Mastery]] in combination with [[Spell Lore]] hero ability or [[GodFavour|Magic's Favour]].
** The effects stack on top of eachother as a multiplication, not as an addition.
** E.g. -10% Spell Mastery effect (skill lvl 10, on color) AND -6% Spell Lore effect (hero lvl 4)
** Casting {{blue}} [[Wish]] (normally 100,000 m.p.) in this situation will cost 84,600 m.p. and not 84,000 m.p.
*** In formula: it combines as (1-6%)*(1-10%)=0.90*0.94=0.846=(1-15.4%)
*** (-10) AND (-6) = 15.4%

Boxerrebellion: /* Effects */

{{Navigation}} 
 
It is a metal gauntlet for the right hand. It looks too big at first, but when you slip your hand in it, it tightens just a little bit to fit you. Suddenly, the gauntlet begins to radiate a white aura. You know that this white aura can shoot out antimagic rays to nullify any magic upon contact.

The Amulet of Kael

2010-07-10T04:21:14Z

Boxerrebellion:

This platinum encrusted amulet was the property of the legendary Kael, a mountain of a man that mastered everything that he attempted. Legends tell that he would settle for nothing less than perfection.

'''''Seems to increase HP during defense. I have only received 1 attack since i got it and as i am running mono Chimeras, the HP increase to 2640 which is 20% increase. Will input more after my run.

Has been confirmed that during defense,a 20% increase for all units. Guess how it can help me when i summon my Red Dragons. Ero - Mar 2010'''''

The Amulet of Kael lowers attacking mage's units AP by 20%. - July 2010
