Elements

A Tome's element is what magical alignment the Tome is apart of. This information is normally stated on the Tome. If the caster is not knowledgeable or attuned to the same element as the Tome, no matter what level the caster may be, it cannot be cast. There are a total of 8 magical elements. They are: Pyromancy, Hydromancy, Ecomancy, Atmomancy, Fulmamancy, Necromancy, Lumomancy and Mystomancy.

Pages

Pages are mystical items that attune the caster to the Element the Page is linked to. On use, they also give a Basic Tome depending on the element of the Page is linked to. There are a total of 9 Pages.

  • The Page of the Nether - This Page grants the knowledge of flames and explosions, allowing the user to use Pyromancy Tomes.

  • The Page of the Seas - This Page grants the knowledge of Water and the Oceans, allowing the user to use Hydromancy Tomes.

  • The Page of Nature - This page grants the knowledge of poisons and the Overworld, allowing the user to use Ecomancy Tomes.

  • The Page of Storms - This page grants the knowledge of the sky, the winds and lightning, allowing the user to use Atmomancy Tomes.

  • The Page of Curses - This page grants morbid knowledge of the unfortunate and cursed, allowing the user to use Fulmamancy Tomes.

  • The Page of the Undead - This page grants knowledge of Death, the Afterlife and the magics of the dead, allowing the user to use Necromancy Tomes.

  • The Page of Light - This page grants knowledge of the healthy and blessed, the healing of wounds and the purging of the undead, allowing the user to use Lumomancy Tomes.

  • The Page of the Mystic - This page grants knowledge pertaining to obscure and mystical powers and the End, allowing the user to use Mystomancy Tomes.

Leveling Up

Leveling up is probably one of the most important things in Tomemancy. If the player is not at the correct level or higher for casting a Tome, it won't work whether or not they have the elemental knowledge required. This is called the Tome's Level Requirement(or Required Level). It, along with the Tome's element, is what governs whether a player can cast it successfully or not. Luckily, the player has a 35% chance of gaining XP every time they cast a Tome so Level Requirements are normally passed while casting spells.

Tiers

Tiers directly connect to the player's Level and to the Tome's Required Level. They serve no other purpose than to categorize Tomes and Players alike. These Tiers are:

  • Basic: Level 0 - 15
  • Apprentice: Level 16 - 30
  • Acolyte: Level 31 - 45
  • Advanced: Level 46+
