Magic - mana regeneration and realms
« on: August 07, 2006, 03:58:51 pm »
Hello everybody!

I haven't been able to find an anwser to this in the forums or in the guide, so here goes:

1) How do I increase my mana regeneration? I dimly recall that it was possible to increase HP regeneration by training body development (I used to play half a year ago or so), so is there something similiar for mana?

2) What is it with the realms? In the spell book, there is a "realm" listed for every spell...

3) Would it make sense for me to get more than one glyph of the same kind? Can I combine two of the same glyphs?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Body development never quite worked, I believe. You can raise your HP through training a combination of Strength and Endurance and perhaps Agility, I believe. To increase your MP, you will need to train Intelligence and perhaps Will.

A "realm" is a power or level of a spell. Realm 2 is higher than Realm 1, etc.

There is no benefit of getting more than one of the same glyph. It is not possible to combine same glyphs.

I gather then that higher "realm" spells come to exist through combinations of more (or more powerful) glyphs, right?

Thanks a lot for the anwser, this has cleared things up a lot for me!

Whoa, is that for real . . ?

I'm currently trying to get a little money together specifically so I can work on my Body Development skill so as to up my hit points . . . so it would be good to know if, indeed, it hasn't actually be implemented yet . . ?

Have just perused the 'Inactive Skills' list in the Players Guide ( section 2.6.8 ), and it ain't listed there . . ?

regeneration rate currently cannot be changed. You can just imprve your total mana/health by increasing the base six attributes.

Realm is the difficulty of the spell. You won't find many spells of higher realm yet, but when you do they will require more knowledge of magic.

Body development cannot be practiced, and I would have fixed that, but we are unsure of how we want it work  :-\

The Player Guide itself is very outdated, so I would definitely not look to it for a reliable list of working or nonworking skills.

Yes, you get to higher realms through training...lots of training.

If I am correct, the rule is realm 2 = lvl 20; realm 3 = lvl 30.  (Is that correct, somebody who knows for sure?)

As for regeneration, the only way to make that faster is take a few mana potions.

As for having more mana points in the first place, its intelligence and will: charisma helps a bit as well I think.
