Battling Basics

Whenever you win or lose a battle, you gain experience points. To reiterate, every character starts at level 1 and works their way up through battling their peers. There is a simple and easy explanation for how many points constitute a level up. Whatever level your character is currently at determines how many experience points you will need to earn in order to level up. For example, if your character is level 6, it will require 6 experience points to level up to level 7 and so on and so forth. Any experience left over after a level up will be put towards the next level. Experience is always rounded to the nearest whole number (ie: Say exp gained is 1.49 » 1 OR 1.5 » 2).

Calculating experience for a win is quite easy. It's simply your opponent's level = EXP gained.

Calculating experience for a loss is simply your opponent's level / 2 = EXP gained.

Here at Magesc, regardless of what type of character you have, all characters have an in-character inventory and gear slots used for battling statistics (this differs from the out-of-character growth equipment slots that are only for art).

The gear slots are as follows: main-hand, off-hand, head, chest, back, hand, wrist, waist, leg, foot, neck, finger, and trinket.

These gear slots are used with different items from the different professions that one can take up. Being able to create different items for the different slots will increase stats when the items are equipped.

Different items have different weights. These weights will also affect battles. We have three classes of armor: Light, Medium, and Heavy. Whenever you see an equippable item, you will notice that it will have additional information regarding the class of the item (weight) and to alert you as to which gear slot it requires. As a note: the main hand, neck, finger, and trinket do not count towards a weight class but all others do.

Light armor does not provide the best defense, but it is easily mobile and does not affect accuracy whatsoever.
Medium armor provides moderate defense, but does slow a person down when worn. This decreases accuracy by 3 points per item.
Heavy armor provides great defense, but really slows a person down when worn. Decreasing accuracy by 5 points per item.

As an example, if your character's accuracy bracket is the first (50%; 51+ = Successful Hit), and you're wearing a full set (8 items) of heavy armor, your accuracy goes down by 40 points, meaning now you must roll an 91+ in order to have a successful hit. With a full set of medium armor, your accuracy goes down 24 points, requiring a roll of 75+ in order to have a successful hit. Whereas a full set of light armor does nothing to one's accuracy whatsoever.

Companions, as stated on the lore page, are familiars and magical extensions of a master raguati or asarei. They also offer a special bonus during a battle. There are two types of companions that you can choose from when you pick up the Companion Coin. An offensive or defensive type of familiar. The familiar can only be one or the other and your character may only have 1 familiar during their lifetime. So this is a very important decision.

Choosing an offensive type will grant the character an additional permanent 10 attack damage while choosing the defensive type will grant a permanent 10 defense to the character.

On top of offering the additional attack or defense, each familiar will come equipped with a special ability only that companion will have. This ability, depending on the type of companion chosen, could offer a plethora of powers beyond what your character can do already. An offensive companion may have the power to add an "ailment" to your opponent or an additional boost in attack power for a short time whereas a defensive companion may have the ability to heal a character, bolster their defenses for a time, increase their overall health, or even shield the character from oncoming damage.







A dovaa's true form, as stated in the lore, is their innate magical self. When a dovaa has gathered enough magical power, they are able to ascend and take their dragon form. In order to acquire this form, you must possess a True Form Token. This is a special state that is also accessible during battle for a short time. When a dovaa is in a battle and they decide to ascend into their true form they are healed for 30 life points (or over-healed and gaining that additional life as a shield if they decide to do this during the first few turns), 15 attack, and 15 defense for the duration of the form. The true form utilizes one turn to transform and lasts a total of 4 turns after transformation.

During these 4 turns, it is crucial to enact one of their special abilities. Every true form comes equipped with two abilities; one offensive and one defensive. These are the same for each person of the clan, but you must choose to use one or the other during the battle, as you cannot use both. These can turn the tide of battle quite easily and many offensive spells cause specific ailments to your opponents.

Please see the list of abilities, both offensive and defensive, for each clan below.
