Skip to the end of my to see the damage multiplier ig
Heya folks, so I was wonderin how powerful lost/ancient magics are gonna be, so I decided to reverse engineer the damage we see in this display of Aether Magic
Now the issue is, we dont know what kind of spell this is so uh, we gotta do a lil math
A 100% size 0 power light blast does 180 damage, so we can kinda reverse engineer the damage to find a 1x damage multiplier, then divide Aether by that.
180/0.85 = 212 (I’m gonna round, don’t expect exact numbers.)
1350/212 = 6.35
This is the HIGHEST the damage can be, and I think its honestly not gonna be that much, so uh time to calculate the minimum.
A 20% size 150 power (this screenshot was back during the brewing update (I think), so this was about the maximum at the time) spikeball metal blast does 774 damage.
774/1.05 = 737
1350/737 = 1.83
This is the MINIMUM the damage multiplier can be (if I’m right lol)
Now to all those who skipped to the bottom, Aether magic PROBABLY has a damage multiplier of 1.8-6.35x (its probably closer to the 1.8 )
According to Vetex, calvus was just that trash, and had to use Aether to carry him.
When mages get Aether and other lost magics though… that’s when the fun starts
change my mind
aether damage multipier is 0.9x
vetex uses greatsword shaped blast (+10% dmg)
vetex’ level is 1337 (guess picked) and he equipped item with 7 (6?) power
and blast magic base damage is 20 (took from my memory)
so (20+7)+(1337*0.9)*1.1 (do the rest by yourself, im lazy)
I doubt it’s that low, but we can assume that most of its efficiency is in speed and size considering it’s supposed to kinda be a light + explosion hybrid
im guessing it has stats closer to explosion, probably with a 0.9-0.925 damage mult like as said above, 1.1-1.15 size and 1.1-1.4 speed (it looks pretty slow)
Its damage multiplier is definitely above that of metal, with a 150 power (maximum at the time the Aether blast was used) 20% size spikeball metal blast, I can only do 800ish damage, (not including bleed) so its definitely higher then 0.9
Like for a lost magic this is just wind with 0.1x more power and no knockback, that’s even worse then a base magic💀
You guys gotta have some faith that these are special magics for a reason, they gotta at least be 50% better then a base magic
