We did’nt know about this new system untill 9th of October, and so even this system could be changed in future, please check date of this post and yours, thank you.
What is the new system?
Once upon a time, artist asked the god and our savior Vetex: 5 magics seems like a lot for mage why they need so many?
And vetex replied with…
And that’s where the fun began. Untill that point we all though that mages(pure magic builds) will have 5 magics: 3 base + 2 lost / 1 lost 1 ancient. It was planned even before TGR all the way back in WOM. 5 slots for 5 magic.
But as we understand now its changed. Instead of 5 magic, mages will have 3, and they will work a bit similar to mutations from AA, where you could replace/evolve your magic into different magic.
What’s the difference between AO system and AA’s?
1
Unlike the AA mutations where you could evolve certain magic into certain magic, in AO we PROBABLY will be able to replace any magic with any lost/ancient.
So, for example, if we have Fire ; Magma ; Ash we can replace it with Fire ; Healing ; Scoarch.

Mutations in AA were garantued at some point of the game…If you would just play the game and not grinding for items, you would still get your mutations.(Yes, some had higher lvl req than others but still), while in AO we will have to firstly get Magic Scrolls, they are rare but as all rare items will have pity system on them and they will have level req as well. Probably 600 magic points for lost magic, and unknown but higher amount for ancient.
Conclusions
New lost/ancient magic system is pretty close to AA’s in some ways, yet, leaves a window for movement by not restricting as much. Yes, 5 magics for mage was cool and it was kind a selling point for mages, yes, its not possible to make 100% use of all 5 magic due to how AO’s combat will work, so i guess the new system of replacing magic is good.
Afterall, most of lost and some ancient magics are direct upgrades of their base variants or combinations of 2.
Poison Lightning Magic - guess what magics it combines.

Electron Magic - Lighting + Burning Poison?
Blaze Magic - Fire + Lightning
Inferno - Fire 2.0
Ap.Bringer - Explosion 2.0
Scorch - Fire + Explosion
Blizzard - Ice + Snow + Wind
Frostmetal - Ice + Metal
Diamond - Crystal 2.0
Sound - Wind 2.0
Lunar - Water + Light?
Darkness - Shadow 2.0
Aether - Lightning 3.0
Flare, Sun, Phoenix - Fire 1.5
