Gothic 2 – Magic Guide

In Gothic ii Night of the Raven spells tin bargain iii types of damage: Fire, Magic as well as Wind. Fire based spells bargain burn damage; the balance of the spells bargain magic damage, yet for certain enemies tin live completely or partly immune to specific spells fifty-fifty though they bargain the same type of impairment (I elaborate this farther later on at the spells sections). Wind impairment is applied to alone i spell as well as the resistance to it is a hidden statistic.

Damage calculation

The impairment calculation follows a genuinely straightforward formula:

Spell impairment – Resistance

Spell impairment tin live fire, magic or air current as well as the resistance tin live against that specific impairment type. Ranged spells operate the same agency equally Bows as well as Crossbows, except the projectile hits 100% of the time, if the projectile genuinely lands on the target. The departure betwixt the spell impairment as well as the melee as well as ranged impairment is that the formula lacks the minimum five impairment dealt condition, thus dissimilar melee as well as ranged damage, where you lot are for certain to bargain a petty impairment always, fifty-fifty if the target would resist it; inward the instance of spells this is non true. Shortly: if spells are resisted, they bargain 0 damage.

Mana training

Increasing mana via teachers volition cost to a greater extent than Learning Points equally your maximum Mana increases. The toll of 1 holler for of Mana modify based on your electrical current maximum Mana:

10 -> xxx – 1 Mana / 1 LP

30 -> lx – 1 Mana / ii LP

60 -> xc – 1 Mana / iii LP

90 -> 120 – 1 Mana / 4LP

120 -> 300 – 1 Mana / 5LP *

You tin salve some Learning Points past times grooming to 29 as well as and thus grooming to 34. 29 points of mana is soundless below the threshold, thus the 1 Mana / 1LP cost is applied.

*Only Pyrokar tin increment your mana that high as well as his maximum is 300.

Magical circles runes

In fellowship to job magical runes you lot take away to larn the magical circles. There are six circles as well as each cost five LP to larn inward Night of the Raven (in vanilla Gothic ii the cost of each circle was five LP * X, where X is the magical circle), yet you lot can’t larn all circles at once:

– Circle 1: Chapter 1

– Circle 3: Chapter 3

– Circle 4: After completing ,,The Eye of Innos” quest (end of Chapter 3, Chapter 4)

– Circle 5: Chapter 5

– Circle 6: After discovering the cloak-and-dagger vault of the Monastery (Chapter 5)

Teachers:

• Parlan – Circle 1 -> Circle 3


• Karras – Circle iv -> Circle 5


• Pyrokar – Circle 6


• Saturas* – Circle 1 -> Circle 6

After you lot learned the circles you lot take away to larn the formulae of each spell rune you lot are going to use. Runes allow you lot to infinitely cast that specific spell, spell scrolls expire after 1 use, yet runes inward full general require to a greater extent than mana to use. In fellowship to practice a rune, you lot take away a Blank Runestone, a scroll of that specific spell as well as some extra ingredients, if you lot own got all that you lot tin practice your ain rune at a Rune Table.

Destroy Undead: Instantly kills virtually undead enemies, but other enemies are unaffected. The in conclusion enemy is immune to it inward Night of the Raven (in vanilla you lot tin job this spell on him).
