Spellweaving is a 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.

 

To learn the art of spellweaving, one must find an experienced arcanist willing to accept you into the community.

Spells

 

General Information: All damage spells are increased by the Spell Damage Increase property. None of the them are increased by Slayers or Inscription. Casting the spells requirse 12.5 skill points above the minimum requirement to be cast 50% of the time, and 37.5 skill spoints above the minimum requirement to be cast 100% of the time.

 

 

Arcane Circle – Myrshalee Mana Cost: 24 Minimum Skill Needed: 0 Casting Delay: 0.5 Duration: 1-5 hours (+1 hour per Focus level) Area of Effect: Caster and up to 5 other arcanists standing within an arcane circle.

The caster and up to four participating arcanists must stand inside an arcane circle, abbatoir or pentagram. When the caster invokes this spell, a magically charged emerald (called an arcane focus) is created for the caster and each participating arcanist. The arcane focus increases duration, spell damage, healing spell effectiveness, and area of effect for the activator’s Spellweaving spells.
A lone spellweaver cannot create a focus. If cast on a pentagram or abbatoir (including champion altars) focus = number of spell weavers in the circle -1. If cast on an arcane circle, focus = number of spell weavers in the circle. If cast on the circle at the center of Prism of Light, or the recently added West Britain Bank circle, focus = number of spell weavers in the circle +1. The maximum obtainable arcane focus is 6.
The spellweavers must all be within 20 skill points of each other to increase a focus. However, a spellweaver of any skill level can attain a level 2 focus from the Prism of Light or WBB circle as long as one other person of any skill level is standing in the circle as well.

Be aware: If you cast Arcane Circle after you already have a focus, the old one will *always* be replaced with the newer, so there’s the potential to actually downgrade.
