How is magic spell progression going to work?

Game Discussion

I have been looking at the Trello a lot, and I’m very confused about what’s staying and what’s going. Skill types? Magic tiers? How is the magic spell progression going to work in the future? Do we even know?

We don’t really know much about spell types apart from the fact that there will be some like “cursed”. You can check the descriptions of some Primordials as it seems most (if not all) of them will have spell types. As for magic tiers, it was originally planned that we’d get 3 in total, but I think it was later archived. We’ll still have tiers I believe, but the way it will work will be different

So we don’t really know anything apart from what’s written and the fact that the basic 3 skill tiers will be reworked.

I might be wrong in some areas of what I said so in case anyone has the proper answers

Yeah, the spell types are really vague atm, all we really know rn is that there are different types and that they’ll be mostly seen on Primordials, then the tiers will be reworked

curses won’t be player obtainable

at some point you’ll be able to choose another 2nd and 3rd default magic

you can obtain lost and primordial magic types, either 1 primordial 1 lost or 2 lost

extra magic moves can be obtained via lost magic scrolls, and to my knowledge be used on any applicable magic

mutations won’t be a thing

I’m aware of that much. I was mainly referring to the normal/mastered/awakened/cursed/forbidden skill types that the Trello mentions.

Here’s something to consider:
Vetex said that he’s completely removing the magic tiers, and EVERY spell involved with them will be obtainable in a new way. There’s two ways he can do this, that tie into previous plans:

First, the Strength and Magic leveling system from AA was planned for WoM, and it could be in AO, but, this is unlikely due to the next reason… But if this is how it’ll go, it will be like in AA, where the higher your magic level is, the more spells you unlock. Simple as that.

However, the second possibility seems more likely: The Medal and Skill Point System. It’s on the Trello’s to-do list. We already know Weapons and Magic are on that, but nothing else. It’s likely this will be the system that, as you dump points into Magic, you unlock more and more spells.

As for skill types, that seems to be from EARLY WoM planning, I doubt “Cursed” and “Forbidden” spells, or even magics, will exist in AO, considering how much WoM changed from the initial ideas on the Trello. Besides, it’s kinda ridiculous to lock two magics behind sending your rep into Demon levels forever, as that may also cause conflicts with the reputation system.

Hope that helps.
