OH
HERE is the "Spells" page (Wonderfully called "Mystics").
in your defense, the tab group /is/ labeled mystics.
Nvm on that... But this is cool.
- yes, this is named the same as the old guide and the page it links from in-game --Bishop 11:04, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
Edited page after I got this: Our lands have been blessed by nature for 38 days, and will be protected from drought and storms.
- the max cast shown does not include any racial bonuses --Bishop 10:03, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
Spell durations!
How does spell duration really work?
Elf/Mystic 17.5% guilds! Does this mean i have twice as efficient guilds, so that would qualify me for >20% guilds and possibly max duration! NW difference. 7% larger opponent! >5 Raw WPA >80% sci! Mod WPA >11
We are in Hostile!
-- Copied from text -- For example, given a spell with a nominal duration of 24 days:
* with a scaling factor of 100% (meaning both provinces have the same net worth, are in war, and the caster has 20% or more guilds), the final cast time will be in the range of 12-24 days. * in a situation with a scaling factor of 0% (e.g., the cast has no guilds), the final cast time will be 6 days (25% of 24 days). * in a situation with a scaling factor of 50%, the final cast time will be 6 days (25% of 24 days) + 3 days (25% of 24 days multipled by scaling factor of 50%) + 0-6 days (random number out of 50% of 24 days multiplied by scaling factor of 50%), which equals 9 - 15 days in total.
-- End Copy --
Cast duration 6 hours - this means?
7% difference and Hostile would equal to casting with 0 guilds?
It also gives less duration than 50% scaling which is 9-15 hours.
What is the leading modifier here, but there is something wrong here.
I have been assuming 24 hours duration, which is wrong ofcourse. Guide says 8 here http://wiki.utopia-game.com/index.php/Magic_Formulas but htat is to low. What is the max duration for MS ?
Crystal Ball
Knowing more about your friends and opponents is vital to your success as a leader. This spell gives you insight into the workings of any province of your choice.
Available to: All Effect: Gives you an overview of the Throne page of the enemy province. Duration: Instant cast Cast Message: Our crystal ball shows ... <target province information> Mystic Advisor Message: N/A
Crystal Eye
Cast on a kingdom instead of an individual province, this option gives a Bird's Eye view of all that has happened across the kingdom of the current and previous months.
Available to: All Effect: Allows you access to the Papers from the Kingdom of the target province Duration: Instant Cast Cast Message: <shows Paper of target provinces Kingdom> Mystic Advisor Message: N/A
Bahh
This is annoying...
I'm updating WoL_Personalities with the clarifications... but I can't find ANYTHING that explains what a duration spell is and what an instant spell is. Well, aside from Magic_Formulas but that doesn't actually SAY what it is...
But none-the-less... it's a trail and it's rather hard to... fix.
Like Nightmares and Amnesia. These are NOT duration spells, but they have a duration component. And Instant Spells, how do you define these other than not having a duration? Thats not to mention to confusing issue of Lasting Spells...
And hell, Meteor Showers can EASILY be confused as being BOTH Instant AND Duration (even though it SHOULD be pure duration).
UGGG!!!
