spellstaff ability

[Pocus]

Hi,

Quick question, how can I regain it, once spent? Don't tell me I can't

 

[sumit1207]

Are you playing the Amurites? Their wizards start off with the Spellstaff promotion, but do not regain it unless they promote to Enchantment 3 to cast it.

 

[Chip56]

So you need either archmages or lichs to get it back (and one dimensional mana)

 

[Chandrasekhar]

Enchantment mana, actually.

Uupps.
You are right.
That happens if you write things when you should be sleeping.

I've never been clear on that... what does a spellstaff do?

I've never been clear on that... what does a spellstaff do?

If a mage breaks his spellstaff he regains the ability to cast spells that turn. A terrifing thought when you consider an archmage than can toss out 6 meteors, 2 maelstroms, etc.

 

[Pocus]

Yes Amurites... ouch, I have been to liberal then!

Kael, I don't understand, how you would cast more than 2 spells a turn in this case?

 

[Sarkyn]

Kael doesn't mean you can cast more than two, just that you could have a total of 6 meteors, for example.

It's particularly nasty with Grigori archmages, who have Twincast generally.

Twincast + Spell staff = 12 meteors PER MAGE, great for opening rounds of a war.

 

[TheJopa]

Actually, you need to create spellstaff before you really attack. Then next turn, or on whatever turn you decide to your attack, you cast, break spellstaff and cast again.
