Custom Spells

In addition to the standard Magic Spellbook and Necro Spellbook, we have added several custom spellbooks to the game. You can obtain the Cleric book by completing the Vengeful Spirit Quest, the Druid book can be purchased by donation or from the monthly auction, and the Spellweaving book from a 2 part quest.

Druid spells

Druid spells apply to the Animal Lore and Animal Taming skills. You must have the druid spellbook (Tome of Nature)and the proper druid reagents to cast these powerful spells.

The Druid Spell Book is one of the most powerful forces in the game. It is intended to be fairly rare and hard to obtain. You can only get this spellbook by purchasing from other players or by Donations

  • Hollow Reed - Similar to the Bless spell.
  • Pack of Beasts - Summons animals; the number of which depends on your skill.

Spell Weaving

Spellweaving is a new skill of magic that allows an arcanist (the official title of a spellweaver) to summon powerful forces of nature and manifest them into various spell effects. Channeling such power is often done in concert with other arcanists. Such cooperative casting allows for arcanists to weave titanic magic that would otherwise be impossible for a mortal to command.

The caster and up to four participating arcanists must stand inside an arcane circle. When the caster invokes this spell, a magically charged emerald (called an arcane focus) is created for the caster and each participating arcanist.
