| Spell Attributes | Lists of Simple, Average, Complex, Ultimate & Ancient Spells |

 

Spells are the bread and butter of The Reincarnation. They are used for a variety of purposes: the summoning of units, the casting of offensive, defensive, and support enchantments both in and out of battle, and the allocation of resources, among other uses. The spells in a mage's spellbook are seen as one of the basic resources. The number of spells and their complexity determines a mage's spell level; once a spell is acquired, you'll never lose it, and spell level will permanently be raised, as long as you keep your mage alive.

Each color can learn their own Simple, Average, Complex, and Ultimate spells through research (note that Ultimate spells are disabled on Arch server). They can learn their own adjacent colors' Simple, Average, and Complex spells, and finally, can learn their opposite colors' Simple and Average spells. Phantasm is the exception: they can learn every color's Simple, Average, and Complex spells, so their spell level is naturally the highest of all the colors. Ancient spells are special rare spells (one for each color) that cannot be learned through research. Administrators have their own set of spells, and so have the Gods.

Each color has two adjacent and two opposite colors, which you can imagine as adjacent and opposite points of the pentegram diagram below, or as the diagrams to the side, looped.

Gods, Skills, and the Black Market can add some extra spell level. Every color's Simple, Average, and Complex spells are available on the Black Market under Exotic Mageware. This is one of the two places that Ancient spells can be learned; the other method is using the specific Unique scroll that corresponds to each color. These Unique scrolls have a fixed percentage chance (50%) of allowing a mage to learn the corresponding Ancient spell; otherwise, the Unique scroll is destroyed, draining all of a mage's mana reserve in the process. Bidding on and winning the spell in the Exotic Mageware section of the Black Market is a guaranteed way to learn the spell without running the risk of losing all of your mana.

 

Mana cost for spell casting
	Spell Type	On-Colour	Adjacent Colour	Opposite Colour
	Simple	100%	125%	200%
	Average	100%	150%	350%
	Complex	100%	200%	600%
	Ultimate	100%	not possible
	Ancient	100%	125%	200%

Casting adjacent and off-color spells is much more mana costly than casting on-color spells, increasing as spell complexity rises. Casting a spell off-color carries the further risk of failure, depending on the complexity of the spell. If spell casting fails, turns and mana are consumed with no benefit. Opposite color casting carries a greater risk of failure than adjacent color casting. The risk of failure also increases with the complexity of the spell. However, higher spell levels reduce the risk of casting failure. Failure rate can be further reduced by casting the Phantasm enchantment Concentration, which reduces research time for spells for all colors. For Phantasm mages, it also increases off-color summoning yields.

Success rate for on-color spells is computed using the following formula:

Simple = SPL x 0.10% + 140%

Average = SPL x 0.10% + 130%

Complex = SPL x 0.10% + 90%

Ultimate = SPL x 0.10% + 80%

Ancient = SPL x 0.10% + 85%

Concentration multiplies this success rate through the following formula: (100% + ( SPL of Concentration / 2900 ))

For adjacent color spells, the success rate is further multiplied by 53%. For opposite color spells, it is multiplied by 45%.

Example: SPL 500 with concentration of 500 casting an off color complex will be (500 x 0.10% + 90%) x (100% +500/2900) x 53% = 86.99%

 

Arch Server: Mages receive an additional 25% concentration bonus when casting all spells (on color, off color or opposite color)

E.g. if a mage had 70% concentration to cast a specific spell, they would instead have 87.5% concentration on the Archserver.

 

Confuse, on the other hand, reduces the success rate of casting by multiplying it with the following formula:

on color: * (1 - (0.0012 * SL))

offcolor: * (1 - (0.0009 * SL))

opposite: * (1 - (0.0006 * SL))

For SPL 600, on-color would multiply the success rate by 28%, adjacent color would multiply it by 46%, while opposite color would multiply it by 64%.

Chance to Destroy Hostile Enchantments

There is a 50% chance to destroy hostile enchantments cast upon a Mage when the Mage has successfully attacked (Regular), sieged or pillaged the Caster

 

Summoning Spells

When a mage uses spells to summon units, they receive a 25% and 50% reduction in yield when summoning off color and opposite color units respectively

On the Guildwar server, the mage receives a further 25% reduction in yield when summoning off color and opposite color units
