Enchantments

basics

Enchantments are spells that influence your country turn after turn. Most of them require a mana upkeep each turn, some also require population. If you cast a spell over another kingdom, you pay upkeep for each turn the targeted mage takes (until the spell runs out of turns or you out of mana). Epidemics can spread from mage to mage with every attack.

Enchanting yourself

• Any enchantment can be cast on your own mage kingdom and run for as long as you can upkeep them, and as long their turn limit is not passed.
  • You can cancel your own enchantment (at the dispell page, with 0 mana) for most spells, except Epidemics, Contract of Soul and other 'NODISPEL, NOCANCEL' spells.
• Benefitial enchantments can only be cast on your own kingdom.
• The effect of an enchantment increases with spell-level.
• Off-color penalties in effectiveness apply.

Enchanting others

• Offensive enchantments negatively influence a kingdom, and usually are cast upon a target kingdom.
  • You can dispel an enemy enchantment (at the dispell page, with a suitable amount of mana).
  • Epidemics need more mana to be dispelled than normal enchantments
  • Dispelling at low spell level (research not yet completed) takes more mana than at full spell level.
  • After you spend enough turns, the enchantment will cancel itself (you take the damage each turn though).

Multiple Enchantments

• Mages cannot have any enchantment running more than once on the same country
  • e.g. casting Plant Growth twice on yourself is impossible;
  • e.g. casting Death and Decay by three different mages all on the same target is impossible;
  • e.g. casting Death and Decay three times, each on a different target, is possible.
• However, Gods can cast benefitial and harming enchantments on your kingdom for a limited amount of turns and these do work on-top-off your enchantments by mages.
