The Gallimaufry of Frostfell's
Magic Tomes
~•~
Asheron's Call has the most advanced and complex magic system of any online RPG, and has spawned a great effort to share discoveries online with other players. The Gallimaufry's Magic Tomes are an effort to compile the simplest yet most complete database of all magics across the four magic schools. These are SPOILERS and only intended to supplement your own spell research!
~•~
Note: All Level VII spells are now in the game!

Level VII War Spells: Give a level VI War Scroll (available in Steel Chests in the Obsidian Plains, opened with SIKs) of the same nature to the Essence of Strife (located at 73.5N, 3.2W), which will automatically put the Level VII version of that scroll directly into your spellbook. There is no skill check, so a level 5 unarmed fighter with no magic could theoretically learn Ilservan's Flame (but would not be able to cast it, of course).
Level VII Item Spells: Turn in a Level VI Item Scroll (found in Steel Chests) to the Essence of Artifice at (86.7S, 10.4E) to receive the level VII version of the spell on the scroll.
Level VII Creature Spells: Turn in a Level VI Creature Scroll (found in Steel Chests) to the Essence of Enchantment at (52.8N, 62.4E) to receive the level VII version of the spell on the scroll.
Level VII Life spells: Turn in a Level VI Life Scroll (found in Steel Chests) to the Essence of Verdancy at (30.5S, 74.3W) to receive the level VII version of the spell on the scroll.

Taper Shifts

Skill Levels

The "first taper" listed in the tables shifts according to this table from one level to the next highest. For example, a Level II spell with a Red taper would have a Pink taper in the same spot for the Level III version of the spell. This pattern only works for the FIRST taper, it will NOT work for "personal" tapers. Calculating personal tapers is only possible with programs like SplitPea.

Level X	>	Level X+1
Red	>	Pink
Pink	>	Orange
Orange	>	Yellow
Yellow	>	Green
Green	>	Turquoise
Turquoise	>	Blue
Blue	>	Indigo
Indigo	>	Violet
Violet	>	Brown
Brown	>	White
White	>	Grey
Grey	>	Red

Each spell level requires that the character have a certain skill level in that school of magic. The regular spell levels I through VI follow a similar pattern of skill requirements listed below:

Level I: 1-25
Level II: 40-75
Level III: 90-125
Level IV: 145-170
Level V: 180-210
Level VI: 220-260
Level VII: 265-330

The first number is the lowest level casting is possible (very high fizzle rate/component burn), the second is the level at which almost no fizzling occurs. Some spells are more difficult than others of the same level, so this is just a general guide.

The skill level required for spells outside the normal spell level hierarchy, i.e. Portal Spells and Ring/Wall Spells, are listed under their entries in the above table.

The Language of Spellcasting

Spellcasting involves not only the use of spell components and magic skill, but the utterance of a magic phrase that correlates to the components. Although the spellcaster does not have to worry about what words he says (spell component order takes care of it automatically) it can still be helpful to know the language of spellcasting.

All spellcasting phrases consist of three parts that compose two words, with only one exception (Recall the Sanctuary). The first word is the Herb, and is disyllabic. The second word consists of two syllables as well, the first one corresponding to the Powder, and the second to the Potion. Scarabs, tapers, and talismans have no effect on spell language.
