Spells

Casting, elemental matchups, summoning and spell effects.

The listed spell amounts are base values, before character stats, equipment, talents, target defenses and map modifiers. The Area column gives the size of the target area, not casting range. Line spells also affect their path. A target may receive both direct and area damage.

Spell casting

  • Select a spell from the Magic List, prepare it, then click the target or ground tile.
  • Stunning damage or knockback can interrupt preparation or clear the prepared targeting state. A failed casting-probability roll spends no mana, but the spell must be prepared again.
  • Ground targeting does not automatically select a nearby unit. Location restrictions can prevent a cast.

Spell casting chance calculation

Casting chance depends on effective Magic skill, effective Intelligence, level, spell circle and equipped Casting Probability. Level includes rebirth and is capped at 140.

The calculated chance input is at least 1; results at least 100 bypass this roll. Below that threshold, the input is approximately the percentage of circle rolls that pass. Hunger or exhausted stamina can still cause a separate failure, and other casting and target checks still apply: passing this roll does not guarantee that the spell takes effect.

Calculation details

These formulas describe the calculation, but exact results at rounding-sensitive boundaries remain unverified.

Use level A=min(L+R,140) and mage level M=⌊A/10⌋, using displayed level L, rebirth level R, and circle C.

Circle Probability coefficient P Penalty coefficient K
1 300 5
2 250 5
3 200 8
4 150 8
5 100 10
6 80 14
7 70 28
8 60 32
9 50 36
10 40 40

The base input is

B=⌊((20+0.8S)/100)PC⌋+⌊max(I−50,0)/2⌋,

where S is effective Magic skill and I is effective Intelligence. Floor notation rounds nonnegative values down. If C<M, add 5(M−C). If C>M, subtract

(C−M)KC−⌊A−10M10(C−M)(C−M)KC⌋.

Add the equipped Casting Probability stat after the circle adjustment. The integer roll threshold introduces a very small rounding difference from the chance input.

Notes about spell effects

  • Direct and area damage are separate components. Units around the target receive only the components whose tiles they occupy. Line spells can revisit a unit along their path.
  • Safe mode does not add a mana surcharge. Ally/party damage restrictions and arena exceptions are checked separately. Summons do not necessarily share player-safe-mode immunity.
  • Beneficial spells can affect enemies when their target rules permit it.
  • Defense Shield, Great Defense Shield, Protection from Magic and Absolute Magic Protection share the protection-effect slot. Existing protection prevents replacement through the normal spell path.
  • Berserk can replace Minor Berserk, but not vice versa.
  • Persistent damaging fields are normally blocked in towns and farms; Crusade changes that restriction. Their monster damage does not use ordinary player-attributed experience handling.

Effects over time

  • Burn: can stun. It does not use the normal spell calculation for Magic Absorption. Protection effects and whether the game can still identify the attacker can change the result.
  • Poison: Natural poison cannot kill player targets. This is not a universal guarantee for other targets. Reapplying poison normally leaves the existing poison in place; the Poison talent can request an extra tick.
  • Freeze: slows movement. Ice spells can gain a different base-damage modifier against targets that were already frozen before the cast.

Natural poison first deals damage on the next eligible update. Its player timer then advances in 8-second steps. A monster’s next natural tick is due after 4 seconds, followed by 8-second steps. Polling can delay ticks. The resistance check begins after the second natural tick; an extra reapplication tick does not advance this timer.

Summon Creature

Target yourself or an eligible allied player to summon a follower. Use /hold to stop your living summoned followers and /free to release that hold. /tgt player directs them at an eligible enemy player on the same map; forced-party maps restrict this command. The table shows possible creatures at the listed effective Magic skill values, not their selection probabilities.

Magic skill % Possible creatures Ordinary creature capacity
10 None 0
20 Slime, Giant Ant 1
30 Slime, Giant Ant, Snake 1
40 Giant Ant, Snake, Orc 2
50 Giant Ant, Snake, Orc, Skeleton 2
60 Snake, Orc, Skeleton, Clay Golem 3
70 Snake, Orc, Skeleton, Clay Golem, Stone Golem 3
80 Orc, Skeleton, Clay Golem, Stone Golem, Orc (spellcaster) 4
90 Orc, Skeleton, Clay Golem, Stone Golem, Orc (spellcaster), Helhound 4
100 Skeleton, Clay Golem, Stone Golem, Orc (spellcaster), Helhound, Cyclops 5

Dead followers can continue consuming capacity until removed. Summoning is also subject to map/event restrictions.

Elements

Against monsters, using their weak element increases this damage stage by 20%; using their own element reduces it by 20%. Other pairings in this table are neutral. Final damage need not differ by exactly that percentage.

Calculation details

Resurrection's restored HP is rounded down.

Circle contribution to spell hit ratio

Spell circle also modifies spell hit ratio according to the caster's level. At level 140, the lower-circle bonus adds 20 for Circle 10 spells, 50 for Paralyze, and 55 for Hold Person. These are circle contributions, not final hit ratios or success percentages.

Calculation details

For a lower circle, add 5(M−C); for a higher circle, use the penalty expression in the casting-chance calculation above, with the same rounding-boundary qualification. M is mage level and C is spell circle, as defined there. The lower-circle contribution is an integer.

Holy duration

The spell caster's Holy talent grants the longer hold or paralyze duration shown.
