Title: Spells!
Post by: rapsac on October 29, 2008, 06:50:05 am

Hi  :D

I played planeshift in its earlier stages (around 1.5-2 years ago) and loved it. Just recently i have decided to check out how the game is going and i'm particularly interested in the magic system. So i was wondering how many spells are there in the game at the moment? i'm guessing around 6 (one for each way) + about 3 cross-way spells, also is there anything else i should know about magic? Don't let me squeeze spoilers out of you but it would be nice to have some light shed on my pondering mind.

Thanks in advance. ;)

There are in fact a number of spells for each way now, but most glyphs are uncommon. As for the rest... I don't really know if there are any major additions or changes.

Wow, i'm psyched now. Thanks for the info. I've got another question though, is there one glyph per way or spell?

each glyph can produce atleast 1 spell at this time, more then that is a nice suprise. and each glyph for atleast 1 spell is in the same way it is.

I asked a level 100 dark way mage, and he told me as far as he knows there are only 4 spells for dark way, Taste of Death, Weakness, Darkness, (those are all one glyph 1st realm spells so that doesn't really count as a spoiler does it?) and that realm 4 Entropy spell that uses a red way glyph. If there are spells for the Shadow and Fear glyphs that can't be learned by someone who has level 100 in Dark Way...

Lol, more then half the high level's you meet will have level 150 brown way, because it has an attack spell that can be cast 5 times a second so people just spam it in pvp and win before you can take a breath.

The point I was making is that the coolest way, dark, is horribly under-spelled and has 2 glyphs that are, as far as I know, completely useless

Regardless, it's still the only way I'm training in. Darkness will reign supreme :)

Of course, it's worth noting that that guide was writen long long ago in a galaxy far far away. These days, You need at least level 40 in any magic skill before you can kill a rat with any adequacy. I've heard when you max it out it can be quite powerfull, but that tastes a long time and millions of tria
