Welcome to the library of magical tomes found within the world of Magesc. Here you will find a plethora of different types of books that your character can use in and out of battle to help add some magical flair to any post! As long as the spell book exists in your character's inventory, they are free to use the spells contained within. For more information on the magic in this world, please check out our Weapons & Magic page.
There are two different types of tomes found here: battle, those that can be used in battle and have some sort of effect, and non-battle, those which just give a sort of flair to a role play or offer some sort of boost to the character outside of battle. The tome's type will be always be listed. There are also three different categories within battle type tomes: offensive, defensive, or support. Offensive spells are basically anything that will deal some kind of damage to your opponent or increase your character's attack stat. Defensive tomes offer the user a defensive strategy to block incoming damage or bolster defense. Support spells are anything else that may include: healing, increasing accuracy, or decreasing the stats of your opponent.
Utilizing a spell is fairly simple, everyone within Magesc has a certain magical affinity. Some just have better luck with spells than others. All spells will have an energy cost, and using some of these spells in battle can help turn the tides of war in your favor. Just be aware, even if you are able to use the magical spell, not always will it work. The energy cost for battle tomes will be different for everyone.
Mages of any type of magic (raguati/asarei mages and dovaa alike), and even non-mages can utilize the tomes, but the energy cost for mages differs from non-mages. If your mage is affiliated with the type of magical tome (ie: a firani dovaa utilizing a fire magic spell) the energy cost is half of the listed energy cost (rounded up). If your mage is not affiliated with the magical type of spell, they will use the stated cost listed. If your mage is on the opposite side of the spectrum, (ie: a raguati mage trying to use light magic or a firani dovaa trying to use water magic) the energy cost is doubled. This doubling of energy cost also applies to all non-mages as well. If you have the energy to spend and wish to utilize it, feel free to use it in battle. You may only use a magical spell once (unless otherwise stated in the tome's description) per battle. Please refer to the "Magical Affiliation Chart" below to see what your character's magical affiliation with the type of tome being used is.
