Magic

Magic uses the resource of mana which regenerates over time. Armour changes the generation rate and can be temporarily increased through the usage of channeling items. Additionally, there are mana potions that can be bought in town, found in dungeon shops, or as boss/miniboss drops.

A player's maximum mana can increase through leveling up or randomly while using the Body and Mind legendary sword. Alternatively, it can be decreased through curses.

There are also scroll variants of every spell, which costs no mana but are a one-time use per scroll. Scroll versions of a spell typically have an intrinsic boost to their spell damage, and ignore the spell damage modifier of any armor you're wearing.

Staves

Spells can be cast with the command /cast or /c followed by the spell you would like to cast (e.g. /cast frostshards). This method cannot be used in combat. However, it is also possible to bind spells to a staff with the command /autocast followed by the spell you would like to cast (e.g. /autocast frostshards or /setautocast frostshards). This method can be used in combat. When using a staff to cast a spell, the mana cost of the spell can be reduced depending on which staff you use. (e.g. Using the spell frostshards on an ice staff saves 40% of the mana cost).

Magic Shop Interior

Most staves can be bought in at the magic shop in town.

Channeling Items

Channeling items increase the user's mana regeneration rate whilst being used or held, with a 2x regeneration rate for crystals (after 15s) and 3x regeneration rate for orbs (after 30s) being applied when out of combat. Note that you'll be unable to perform actions or move whilst channeling. There are two variants of channeling items: crystals and orbs. Crystals are cheaper compared to orbs, but have a lower capacity and regeneration rate compared to orbs but drain slowly while holding it instead of instantly. Orbs, whilst being expensive, have the ability to temporary overcharge the user's mana. The overcharge rate is based on the quality of the orb alongside the user's level. Channeling items can only be used when wearing mage-class armour.
