Casting spells requires your patience and resources.
First, to invoke a spell you must be near a Spellcrafting Conduit, speak a series of incantations and offer an array of different material components to be destroyed in the process.
Depending on the type of the spell, a successful invocation may either cast that spell immediately or prepare it in your mind with a fast trigger for casting later.
Instant spells are cast immediately after successfully invoking them. Most utility spells—such as spells from the transmutation and conjuration schools—are instant spells.
Instant spells do not require an available spell preparation slot.
Prepared spells are stored in a spell preparation slot after successfully invoking them. Most combat spells are prepared spells. You must prepare these spells near a Spellcrafting Conduit, but once prepared, you may go anywhere and cast it by speaking the spell's fast trigger phrase.
Everyone starts with 10 spell preparation slots. When you prepare an 11th spell, you lose the oldest prepared spell. As you gain more experience points (XP) from casting spells, you'll increase the number of prepared spell slots you have (up to a maximum of 25).
Voodoo magic is very strong near emerald beryl, which are green crystals found in large cluster formations deep in the mines. Emerald beryl acts as a conduit for invoking Voodoo spells, and you must be near one of these clusters to access its power and invoke spells.
Some towns have hauled these crystals from the mines and erected Spellcrafting Conduits around town for easier access to Voodoo magic.
Soulbinding is a game mechanic introduced in v1.0.0-beta.10
.
Casting Craft Soulbond creates an artifact that lets another player bind their soul to you. Once Soulbound, certain spells that affect you also affect them.
To Soulbind with someone, you must hand them the artifact. That player must now place the artifact in your belt. You can have up to 4 other players Soulbound to you at once. Touching an artifact bound to another player will break the Soulbond.
