Revision as of 10:35, 24 November 2014

The hard school every newly recruited mage has to go through, this guild offers the basic training needed for a mage to possess before he can then specialize his magic powers into one of the more defined subjects. Every mage regardless of family, rank, money or other worldly influences once wandered through these legendary halls, years later to master the elements or even the high mysteries of magic. While the raw ability to control the magic exists in every mage, it is here that the future spellweavers learn how to consciously affect the magic around them. After years of intensive study, and life-long friends and enemies made, the graduates of this guild truly are Brothers in Sorcery.

Reputation

Mage reputation is called 'essence'. Mages get an essence skill for each dam-type according to how much they cast their primary blast. Here is an _approximate_ list on how essence is gained: Essence 1% - 10%, 50 blasts per % Essence 10%-20%, 350 blasts per % Essence 20%-30%, 1500 blasts per % Essence 30%-40%, 3000 blasts per % Essence 40%-50%, 4500 blasts per % ?

Essence is also a factor in becoming a type leader. Check leaders with 'mage leaders' and your progress with 'mage check'.

Reagents

Reagents are spell components needed to cast the primary blasts and area blasts. Also greater conjurer prots require reagents. Reagents come in 3 different strengths: poor, standard and power. It is recommended you throw poor reagents away :) Standard reagents are cheap and give you the normal spellcost when casting a spell. Power reagents cost some 200-300gp each but save a lot of sp when casting the spell. Very nice to have around if you can afford them. Reagents are ordered from merchants who are able to make them from the raw material. Reagents must be stored in special pouches which can be purchased from the Mage Guild. Here is a list of reagents (also shown by 'help spell <spellname>' or 'mage reagents'):

   bark chip, summon carnal spores (poison primary)
   blue cobalt cup, lava storm (fire area)
   bloodstone rings, acid storm (acid area)
   brass fan, vacuum globe (asphyx area)
   bronze marble, blast vacuum (asphyx)
   copper rod, golden arrow (mana)
   ebony tube, killing cloud (poison area)
   electrum wire, electrocution (elec)
   granite sphere, lava blast (fire)
   olivine powder, acid blast (acid)
   onyx gravel, hailstorm (cold area)
   platinum hammer, magic eruption (mana area)
   steel arrowhead, cold ray (cold)
   tungsten wires, lightning storm (elec area)

   amethyst crystal, shield of detoxifiction (poison prot)
   fur triangle (mmm! :), frost shield (coldprot)
   glass cone, flame shield (fireprot)

Mage gems

Some mage-like monsters drop gems. These gems can be attached to your mage staff for special abilities. You need to operate the machine in one of the rooms in the mage guild in order to attach the gem.

Current gems are:

   a shimmering multicoloured crystal gem (can't be attached before loading it with sp. Drains about 3k sp and blows up if user doesnt have it, 1 of three needed for storing/releasing spells)
   a shiny dark-green oval shaped amethyst (1 of three needed for storing/releasing spells)
   a small and almost colourless zircon gem (+able to see power of staff.)
   a dull white circular weenite gem (+dam to one type)
   A silvery-white round pearl (It will increase power of the mage staff.)

Mage staff

The mage staff is created with the create staff skill. Basically the skill turns any staff/wand into a mage staff, keeping the original staff's stats but not specials. The staff gets lighter and gains specials over use of mage blasts (main blasts only? / gain of essence). Possible to have multiple staffs?
