Creature Spells & Abilities

[Duke Ragereaver]

Here is a list of spells/abilities you can select for your characters to be gained at various levels. To upgrade a spell, a character must first gain the normal variation of said spell at some point at levels 1-10. Then, if they gain the spell again while in Elite Status, the spell will be upgraded.

Remember that you can pick any abilities for your creature so long as they remain within reason. It is also possible to stretch the nature of certain abilities. For example, a Web placed on an Archer could make a Net Arrow of some sort. Abilities can be as flexible as desired so long as it is also within reason.

If you are not sure then feel free to contact Metal Gear Rex (http://keeperklan.com/members/153-Metal-Gear-Rex) for help.

High Power Spells

High Power Spells are significantly stronger than normal Spells. Creatures can only get a single High Power spell when in Normal Status and a second one in Elite Status. High Power Spells are more so used by those who are primarily Spell Casters and not really seen in non Spell Casters.


Blaze - Creates a quick and powerful blazing Fireball that deals massive damage with a bit of recoil
and explodes upon impact for considerable knockback.

Blizzard Bomb - Creates an icy explosion over an area of up to five tiles, dealing minor to considerable damage
to all enemies within the radius of the attack. It also slows targets down (50%) for a short period
of time due to the cold, but this is not considered a Slow status and can be stacked with a real Slow
spell. Damage is mostly concentrated in the central tile casting area. Targets within that area can
also be Frozen for a brief period of time. Units who are resistant to Ice magic or cold can negate
the slow effect, or if they're in the central casting area, they reduce the Freeze effect down to a
slow spell.

Sonic Boom - Summons a blast of wind that deals considerable damage and has incredible knockback for the
target. As the wind passes by other units on its way towards its intended target, it offers a
knockback for any nearby units, allies and enemies, with a sort of doppler effect.

Ivy Blood - Passive. All spells have an additional Poison effect upon whatever targets they hit. It cannot
stack with itself but can be doubled in effect with an actual Poison spell. However, it does
have the negative side effect of halving any Heal magic, both when the Ivy Blood unit casts
Heal magic and when Heal magic is cast on the Ivy Blood unit.

Thunderstorm - Summons a violent storm over a target for a moment, dealing massive AoE damage

Terra Crack - Quickly creates a crack in the Earth, splitting the ground between the castor and the
target (who can be up to 5 tiles away), causing a potentially massive stun, or at least
complete loss of stability, for the target and any nearby units in addition to considerable to
major damage depending on how much the units are effected by the ability. This ability can also
deal a large amount of damage to Traps and Doors, or potentially destroy them outright depending
on the Trap/Door itself and the accuracy of the attack.

Banishment - Removes a single summoned unit, while dealing considerable holy damage to the summoner.
It can be used against a target normally for raw holy damage. Also removes stains.

Death Curse - Removes all buffs from the target and, for a short period of time, prevents buffs from
being cast on them while dealing constant minor damage, like a Poison. Additionally, while the
spell is still in effect, it causes the target to take 50% more damage. However, Undead units
are immune to the damage increase effect.

Invulnerability - Can be casted on either the user or an ally. Once casted, the effected Creature will be immune to all
damage for a *very* brief amount of time.

Summon Skeleton - Summons a "lesser Skeleton" that will fight for its summoner until it dies. Only a single Skeleton
can be summoned at any time. (Unless upgraded to two Skeletons) The summoned Skeleton can level up
and begins at Level 1. He cannot level up beyond the summoner. While summoned, the caster's other
Spells are significantly weaker than before and become even weaker when a second Skeleton is
summoned. The Summoned Skeleton's traits must be defined in the Profile and cannot be changed without
Game Master approval.

Chicken - Turns the target into a clucking chicken, preventing them from being able to fight for a brief period
of time. The effect time is barely longer than Freeze but still varies due to the debuff being purely
magic based rather than ice based. Buffs are still in effect and the Creature has full control over
their chickened body, but they're easier to injure due to a lack of armor. They cannot be eaten and
may be cured at the Temple. The caster can chicken only a single Creature at a time.

Great Seal - Completely blocks all spells for all units, enemies and allies, within a 2-3 tile radius
for a brief period of time. The effect time can be cut short but there is no reduction in
recharge time when doing so.

Word of Power - Deals significant damage to all surrounding enemies in addition to a having a large push-back effect

NPC Only Spells

NPC Only Spells are what their name might imply, in that they're available for NPCs only. These are the stronger of abilities that aren't very "balanced" and shouldn't be obtained normally.

Additionally, NPC Units are capable of breaking other rules, such as being able to obtain Spells regardless of their Level and capable of having multiple High Power Spells.


Haste Other - Triples the speed of an ally for a very brief time, a handful of seconds

Haste Group - Triples the speed of the caster and two nearby allies for a very brief time, a handful of seconds

Invisibility Other - Turns an ally invisible for a short period of time, but becomes visible once attacking

Invisibility Group - Turns the caster and two nearby allies invisible for a short period of time, but they become visible
once attacking.

Mist - Creates a thick Fog of War over the surrounding area, stretching up to 7 tiles.

Rebound Other - Creates a buffing effect for an ally that reflects incoming projectiles back at attackers

Rebound Group - Creates a buffing effect for the caster and two nearby allies that reflect incoming projectiles back
at attackers.

Redirect - Redirects nearby enemy projectiles towards the target instead of nearby and more vulnerable allies.

Speed Group - Doubles the speed of the caster and two nearby allies

Summon Ghost - Summons a "lesser Ghost" that will fight for its summoner until it dies. Only a single Ghost
can be summoned at any time. (Unless upgraded to two Ghost)
