Spell proficiency is an option in sovereign creation. Players can select or build sovereignswith proficiency in Air, Death, Earth, Fire, Life or Water magic.As the sovereign levels, traits can be selected that increase these proficiencies (a sovereigncreated as an Air Disciple can become an Air Mage).ApprenticeAccess to level I spellsDiscipleAccess to level II spellsMageAccess to level III spellsMasterAccess to level IV spellsArchmageAccess to level V spellsSpells require a certain proficiency in their type to be used. Fireball requires the caster to bea Fire Mage to be able to cast.Champions are similar to sovereigns in that they can have proficiency in the various types ofmagic. Unlike sovereigns, they are initially unable to cast spells. Before they can cast spells asovereign has to cast Imbue Champion on them.In the world of Elemental magic has been trapped in shards. There are only a few,called channelers, able to draw upon that magic. All of the games sovereigns arechannelers. Although the champions of the world may have an aptitude fordifferent types of magic, they cannot cast spells until a channeler has imbued themand allowed that champion to access the world’s magic.

Just like sovereigns champions can increase their proficiency with different types of magic asthey level. Champions can learn different magic types than your sovereign.Though you may have multiple casters in your empire, there is only one store of mana thatthey all use to power their spells. The decision to use your mana to enchant yourchampions, attack your enemies, move around the world or guard your cities is a critical oneto surviving in the world of Elemental.Your sovereign provides a small amount of mana each turn. But there is more to be foundby building shrines on the world’s mana shards. Spells with maintenance costs likeenchantments, city enchantments and summons will detract from your mana each turn.Click on the mana symbol in the main screen to get a breakdown on where your mana isgoing, or to dispel enchantments you no longer need.Shards are important because they add to the amount of mana a player earns each turn, theyalso improve the effect of many of the spells in the game. For example, “fireball for 6damage ( 3 per fire shard)”, means it does 6 damage for a player who doesn’t control anyfire shards, 9 damage for a player that controls 1 fire shard and 15 damage for a player thatcontrols 3 fire shards.The world starts populated with Life shards, but if these fall into Empire territory they areautomatically converted to Death shards. Taking these shards from your enemies bothweakens their spells, and strengthens your own.There is a world option that controls the frequency of shards in the world. Having moreshards in the world means that players will be receiving more mana and that spells will bemore powerful.Although all players can access Air, Earth, Fire and Water spells (if they have units with theappropriate proficiency) Life spells can only be used by Kingdom allegiance players.Conversely Death spells can only be used by Empire allegiance players.There are many types of spells in Fallen Enchantress. The spells type determines when itcan be cast. A player can’t enchant one of his cities during a tactical battle, or curse anenemy unit from the world map.Strategic- Strategic spells can only be cast from the world map (not while in tacticalcombat). In general these spells only require that the player has a single unit whocan cast the spell to be able to cast the spell anywhere. If the player has a unit thatcan cast Tornado (the sovereign or an imbued champion) that player can castTornado anywhere.

Tactical- Tactical spells can only be cast in tactical combat. Unless otherwisespecified the duration lasts only for that battle. If a unit is Hasted in tacticalcombat, it only gains that bonus for that battle.Universal- Universal spells can be cast either in tactical combat or from the worldmap. Some spells have slightly different effects depending on if they are cast intactical combat or on the world map. For example, if an Earth Elemental issummoned in tactical combat it only lasts for that battle. If an Earth Elemental issummoned on the world map then it stays with that army, but has a manamaintenance cost that must be paid each turn.Enchantment- Enchantment spells are cast on units and can be used to make yourunits more powerful or protect them. Most have a mana maintenance cost.City Enchantment- City enchantments affect cities much as enchantments affectunits. They can boost the research for that city, help defend it, or provide a varietyof other benefits. Most have a maintenance cost.Some Spells damage is multiplied by the amount of members of the victims group. If a spelllike this does 3 damage it would do 3 damage to a unit with only one member in the unit(like a champion), 9 damage to a unit with 3 members (like a group of peasants) or 27damage against a unit with 9 members (like a company of defenders).Although these spells aren’t as effective against champions and single unit groups, they arevery powerful when used against large groups of defenders. Use overkill spells like Fireballto weaken enemy armies, and high damage spells without overkill, like Touch of Entropy,against champions.
