This old spellbook almost crumbles into dust under your searching fingertips. When you read the mystic contents inside, arcane knowledge floods your mind, giving you understanding of great wisdom. Everything suddenly becomes so clear and simplified, and the spell which has been puzzling you for so long is immediately understood. When you gasp out in joy and surprise, the old book crumbls into dust and blows away in the wind.

Valkyrie

Merlini: /* Summary */

{{Herostats
| description =

Strong in War, as well as Knowledge, the Valkyries are fierce female warriors of the North. For the most part keeping to themselves, the Valkyries are not the best leaders, however their reputation brings forth many men to your army, wishing to fight alongside these mystery warriors. Besides considerable leadership skills, they employ simple cold magic.

}}

==Valor==
Increases Primary and Counter AP of all your units by 2% + 1%/lvl. Stacks linearly with multiple valor using heroes(2 heroes with level 5 valor will give you a (2%+5%) + (2%+5%) boost to AP.

==Icicle==
*Deals 10k + 5k/lvl COLD damage to one random enemy stack. (can anyone confirm?)
**This is a Image:icon_PHANTASM.gif Phantasm spell and thus can be resisted.

In practice, does neglible damage.

==Ice Shield==
*Increases all your units' FIRE resistance by 5% + 1%/lvl.

==Summary==
Usually bought as a valor hero as both Icicle and Ice Shield is of limited benefit unless one wishes to focus on attacking Red mages. Usually leads Blue Elementals or Djinni.

Spell Mastery

2011-04-02T14:56:20Z

Merlini: /* Effects */

{{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.
* Reduces spell casting turn cost by a percentage (1% per level). E.g., at level 20, spells that take 5 turns will only take 4 turns to cast.

 ** 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

Guild server May 20, 2010 - Spell Mastery: Reduces turn cost by a percentage

At L12, Spells with an original cast time of over 8 turns cost 1 turn less e.g. Summon Leviathan becomes 8 turns, Call Lightning becomes 9 turns.

Solo server Nov 26, 2010 - Spell Mastery: Reduces turn cost by a percentage *UPDATE by slivers7*

As a Nether mage, at Spell Mastery L4, the number of turns needed to cast the spell "Black Death" was noticed to go from 25 turns to 24 turns, so from cursory observation, it appears each level gained reduces the number of turns needed to cast any spell in a linear fashion as below:

'''Turns needed to cast a spell * (100 - Spell Mastery Level)%''' ; turns needed rounded up, so the minimum will at least be 1 turn for non-battle spells
*=> -1% turn(s) needed to cast any spell per level of skill, fractions rounded up

In the example case, it would have been:

25 turns needed * (100 - 4)% = 25 turns * 96% = 24 turns needed ; exact

*Currently, insufficient tested info for each skill level. Needs verification from players who have maxed Spell Mastery.

=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%
