Spell power levels

Xerin · 02-21-2002, 09:52 AM

Hi. I'm confused on how spell power levels work. My mage is about 18th level and has over a 100 in wizardry. His fire magic is in the 90s. I have all the fire spells and can cast fireball at max in green. I just acquired nuclear blast and can only cast it at power level 1 in green. How can I increase it's effectiveness? I thought fire magic skill did this but mine is in the 90s. I think adding spells gives you more spell points yet I have ALL the fire magic spells. So what do I do?

Am guessing because it's a 7th level spell, you'll need to raise your fire magic higher than 90 to get green levels beyond one; think the skills can go as high as 125, so keep practicing fire magic.

Two points:
1) Casting power is related to both the realm skill and the magic skill, so for Nuke you need both fire and Wizardry
2) The lvl 7 spells require a lot of both, but not 125. At 92 mental and 91 psi, mindflay would only cast at yellow. I now have 97 mental, 94 psi and can cast in at lvl3 green and 5 yellow. At this rate by 100, 100 it should be all green.

Level also affects power level's slightly. Level 18 is when you first get your level 7 spells which is a good reason as why its only P1.

Gain a few more levels and it will increase in power level's.
