The most important components used in the process of spell creation are raw elements.
Elements present in the game are: Fire, Ice and Lightning.
Deposits can be found throughout the game.
Deposits can also be found in dungeons and places you visit during story-related quests.
Catalysts are added during the creation process, after you’ve added raw elements into the mixture.
This, however, will allow you to create only basic spells, without any additional effects.
you’re able to add a catalyst into the mixture.
You must remember about a few things associated with spells.
Those are:
Tiers are, basically, higher levels of a spell.
Spell tier is connected to the Potency level of it.
The following table shows the tiers available to the elements of Fire, Ice and Lightning.
There’s another “problem” - proportions of elements.
If, however, none of the elements have a majority you will create a Unicast spell.
Adding catalysts into the mixture will allow you to give a special effect to a spell.
Below you might find a table representing possible combinations and their descriptions.
A full list of catalysts and their effects can be found in the next chapter.
