Elemental -mancy magical skills
Posted: Tue May 25, 2010 7:59 pm
The elemental -mancy skills are now working. The 5 basic schools of elementalism are:
Pyromancy (fire)
Aeromancy (air)
Hydromancy (water)
Geomancy (earth)
Cryomancy (cold)
Cold is an element. We swear.
Usage is as follows:
Aeromancy, prepped twice:
Pyromancy (fire)
Aeromancy (air)
Hydromancy (water)
Geomancy (earth)
Cryomancy (cold)
Cold is an element. We swear.
Usage is as follows:
You can prep up to 3 elements at once, and can mix different elements to create new spells. While we intend this to eventually require higher skills in the associated -mancies, and possibly an additional "elemental alchemy"-type skill, for now all combinations are open to anyone who has any skill at all in the associated -mancies. Almost all elemental combinations have been coded up, though a few are still missing. Here are a few examples:aeromancy

You can't use a -mancy verb if you don't have any skill in it, so we've handily allowed some of the skill trainers around Shadgard to teach you a bit. Jerromir can teach you about Aeromancy, which is fun to use to knock people over or send them flying, and Darien teaches Pyromancy, for those who simply want to reduce their foes to smoldering piles of ash and move on to the next target.hydro
