This 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

• Level 1-5 : Reduces base spell casting cost by 1% for on-colour, 2% for near-colour, 3% for opposites. The effect does NOT accumulate with Magic's Favour. Instead, first Magic's -10/20% gets deducted, then the percentage of the skill.
• Level 6-10 : Seems same as L1-5 (confirmed)
• Level 11-15 : Seems same as L1-5 (confirmed)
• Level 16-20 : Seems same as L1-5 (confirmed)

Bonuses

• Level 20  : All spells cost one turn less to cast.

** Note the base spell casting cost of spells on near-colours and off-colours. As a reminder:

	Spell Type	On-Colour	Near Colour	Opposite Colour
	Simple	100%	125%	200%
	Average	100%	150%	350%
	Complex	100%	200%	600%
	Ultimate	100%	N/A	N/A
	Ancient	100%	125%	200%

Example

• Example: Casting Shroud Of Darkness (Average,10000MP) by a L20 Spell Master...
  • Nether: 100% - 20% = 80% = 8,000MP
  • Eradication: 150% - 40%*150% = 150% - 60% = 90% = 9,000MP
  • 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.
  • If you combine both, 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 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%
