Magiclysm is a in-progress mod introduced in 0.E (Ellison). It adds plenty of fantasy elements incompatible with the base game, such as a spell system and some Dungeons and Dragons-inspired monsters. Planned updates include the addition of supernatural dungeons filled with magical dangers, as well as loot.

Spell System

Spells can be learned from spellbooks (see below), which have multiple spells, and scrolls, which have a single spell. (Scrolls are NOT single-use items.)

Studying spells raises the Spellcraft skill and gives experience to level the studied spell. Casting a spell awards experience towards leveling that spell. but doesn't raise the Spellcraft skill. Each spell level awards specific bonuses to that spell (such as extra damage, range, duration, area of effect, mana cost, etc.).

The Spellcraft skill is relevant for (magical) crafting and to reduce the chance of spellcasting failure.

Each spell has a set "difficulty", which is in its in-game description. The difficulty is important in determining the chance of spell failure and up to what level the Spellcraft skill can be trained by studying that spell.

Spell Classes

Each spell in Magiclysm is associated with a particular class (except for a few classless spells), each of which represents a school of magic. There are eight classes in Magiclysm, consisting of four pairs of opposing classes. Aligning with one class prevents you from accessing spells from the opposing class.

Class Opposing Class
Kelvinist Stormshaper
Biomancer Druid
Earthshaper Technomancer
Animist Magus

Descriptions:

  • Magus: "A tradition as old as magic, the magus focuses on binding and shaping the energy of the universe to their will."
  • Animist: "The animist tradition is a relatively new school of magical thought, formed through combination of many older ways that focus on harmony and connection to the natural world. This does not mean that animists are passive: the natural world is a savage place."
  • Kelvinist: "Disciples of the great Archwizard Lord Kelvin. Kelvinists focus their magic on manipulation and control of the temperature of their environment, leading to spectacularly powerful explosions or bone-chilling cold."
  • Stormshaper: "Stormshapers follow ancient arcane disciplines of meditation and harmony with the winds and tides that shape the planet. Through their deep connection to these forces, they can request powerful changes."
  • Technomancer: "Technomancers are the new breed of modern magician, blending their arcane might with their advanced knowledge of the fundamental nature of the universe. They use technology to enhance their magic and vice versa."
  • Earthshaper: "Earthshapers have allowed their minds to sink deep within the stones and metals of the planet, and become one with its secrets. To a master Earthshaper, spells can be as permanent as the stones they are created from, and time is measured in geological eras."
  • Biomancer: "The Biomancer focuses on manipulating and even absorbing flesh; their own, and that of other living or dead things. Most other wizards find their powers gross and disturbing, but no one can question the potency of their abilities, and certainly not their adaptability to any situation."
  • Druid: "Druids follow a wild tradition of allegiance and rebirth within the world of nature, especially the cycle of death and rebirth that is the plant world. A powerful druid is as much a part of that world as the human one."
