Magic information

If you want to use magic, you have to learn magic before use it (skill 20% for all players in the beginning). If you don't have magic skill, you can get it at wizard tower, simply talk to the NPC there.

You can learn new spells at magic tower in the town. But there are some spells you can't learn at the magic tower like 'Ice-Storm', 'Mass-Fire-Strike', 'Bloody-Shock-Wave'. To learn those spells, you must get the spell manual from the high level monsters like Demon or Liche.

Magic points formula: Number of magic points (MP) MAG*2 + Level*2 + INT/2

Casting

Press F7 to see the spell list, then press the spell you want to cast and choose a target.

You can also attach spells to hotkeys F2 and F3. F4 casts the last spell you casted. To cancel a spell that is being cast, click right mousebutton when choosing target. Casting probability depends on many factors that are Level, Int, Magic Skill. And the power of magic depends on level, Mag, Magic skill.

Casting probability

(NOTICE: This section has a lot of unconfirmed data, so don't blame me if they are wrong)

Perfectly wrong calculation :P Working on it. Some test data:

int 93, mag 129, mag% 100, level 71: 6 circle 100, 7 circle - 91
int 99, mag 129, mag% 100, level 73: 7 circle - 94

If you have 100% skill the casting success ratios are:

Circle	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Success ratio	300	250	200	150	100	80	70	60	50	40

If you don't have 100% skill success ratio will be calculated like this:
(Circle success ratio * Magic skill) / 100

If your INT is more than 52, you'll recive INT-50/2 bonus to success ratio. (INT 60: (60-50)/2 = 5, so +5 to success ratio)

Penalty for casting magic that is higher than your level are:

Circle	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
penalty	5	5	8	8	10	14	28	32	36	40

Bonus for casting lower level magic is 5 per difference.

Penalty/bonus is calculated like this:

If your level / 10 (rounded down, ie 69/10=6) is under the circle you are casting:
Success penalty = (Circle - (Your level (rounded down) / 10)) * Circle Penalty

If your level / 10 (rounded down) is over the circle you are casting:
Success bonus = (Circle - (Your level (rounded down) / 10)) * 5

If your level / 10 (rounded down) is the same as the circle you are casting, there will be no bonus/penalty.

Few examples so you'll get it:
Level 42 player casting Energy Strike (circle 7): (7-(42/10))*28 = 84 (-84 penalty)
Level 67 player casting Lightning Strike (circle 8): (8-(67/10))*32 = -64 penalty
Level 95 player casting Energy Strike (circle 7): (7-(95/10))*5 = -10 (+10 bonus)

Rain will decrease your success ratio, depending on power of the rain (-8, -22, -33)

If the success at this point is over 100, it will be reduced to 100.

Now you cast the spell, if the spell doesn't fail.

Confused? You should be... let's have a few examples.

Example 1:

Player (Level 42, INT 60, MAG 90, Skill 75%) casting berserk (circle 6)
Circle success: (80 (circle success ratio) * 75 (magic skill)) / 100 = 60
INT bonus: (60-50)/2 = 5
Level penalty: (6 (circle 6 spell) - (42 (level) /10)) * 14 (Circle 6 penalty value) = 28
Success rate: (60+5-28) = 37

Example 2:

Player (Level 71, INT 89, MAG 128, Skill 97%) casting energy strike (circle 7)
Circle success: (70*97)/100=67
INT bonus: (89-50)/2=19
Level bonus/penalty: own level spell, no bonus/penalty
Success rate: 86

Example 3:

PLayer (Level 85, INT 130, MAG 150, Skill 100%) casting berserk (circle 6)
Circle success: (80*100)/100=80
INT bonus: (130-50)/2=40
Level bonus: (6-(85/10))*5 = 10
Success rate: 130

Finally, if you're starving or your stamina is 0 you have a 10% chance of failing the spell.

These formulas may be not accurate, but they will give you some guidance while creating your mage.

Hit ratio

Magical attack hit ratio: (casters hit ratio / targets magic resistance) * 50
If your MAG is over 50 then you'll get MAG-50 bonus to hit
Targets magic resistance = Magic resistance skill + (If targets MAG is over 50 it'll get MAG-50 bonus)

If hit ratio is over 90% it'll be reduced to 90%
if hit ratio is under 10% it'll be increased to 10%

So, let's continue Example 2 (player casting energy strike, success rate 86))
MAG 128 gives you +78 to hit

You throw your spell at area with Ogre (magic res 70), Troll (magic res 60) and a 3 players (player a: magic res 100, mag 80, player b: magic res 100, mag 10, player c: magic res 100, mag 120)

Your chances to hit are:
Casters hit ratio: 164 (86+78)

Ogre: (Res 70, no mag bonus), 164/70*50 = 117% chance to hit (rounded down to 90%)
Troll: (Res 60, no mag bonus), 164/60*50 = 136% chance to hit (rounded down to 90%)
Player A: (Res 100 + MAG Bonus 30 (80-50) = 130), 164/130*50 = 63% chance to hit
Player B: (Res 100, no mag bonus), 164/100*50 = 82% chance to hit
Player C: (Res 100 + MAG Bonus 70 (120-50) = 170), 164/170*50 = 48% chance to hit

Unconfirmed:

1. Faster casting speed.
   You can even get occused in speed hacking
2. Faster casting recovery speed (means you can cast consecutive spells faster)
3. Higher damage
4. Mana Recovery.
   Mana regenerates at a faster rate than normal, but the amount of mana regenerated is unaffected.
