Spells

Spells are active magical workings used by trained mages, folk casters, and divine traditions in Omniluxia. In game terms, most spells spend a caster's mana, then apply an immediate effect, a timed modifier, or both.

How Spell Effects Work¶

Most spells fall into one of five practical uses:

• Battlefield spells affect armies or navies already in combat. They usually last 30 days and use unit modifiers.
• Offensive character spells harm, curse, maim, blind, or otherwise alter a target character.
• Support spells strengthen the caster's realm, a province, a friendly force, or the caster.
• Siege spells affect the besieged settlement or the besieging army.
• Folk and divine spells depend on culture, religion, or a special unlock rather than only a formal school.

Spell cost is paid from the caster's mana pool. The mod scales that cost by local terrain and caster rank, so the listed cost is the base cost before those adjustments.
