I covered warrior in the first one and now we move on to mages. (Plz for gods sake someone nerf surge it’s annoying as hell)
Obviously we can expect more unique spells(some being mage exclusive) to be added and both our magics unlocking new shapes and ultimates
Second awakening gives us 3rd magic but I feel this somewhat lacks tbh. It’s like now where your first magic is the one you mainly use and the second is just there for an extra leap or beam
More importantly what I’m more interested in are magic items which can be used to cast spells faster and maybe buff them as well, things like wands, staffs, crystal balls and such could be the main items for mages, and if possible would allow for a combination spell(one for each magic) which would function like a pseudo-ultimate move
mage getting a 3rd magic is fine. Believing that people only use their first magic and ignore their second magic is dumb. Its bad character design to choose a second magic you won’t use simply because your first magic has shapes and ultimates.
My mage’s second magic is snow so I can apply soak and then apply the frozen effect to be as annoying as possible.
Mages will also likely get magic weapons like wands and orbs but those don’t have anything to do with awakening
The problem is that your 3rd magic is going to be effectively pointless - By that point, you’ll have a colossal first magic and a sizable second magic that presumably synergizes with your first, filling the slot of your “buffer.”
At best, your third magic is going to provide halved positive synergies with your other two, at the cost of less spell options, less size, less everything in general. Honestly, mage’s second awakening should be both a third magic and the ability to imbue magics into eachother, like budget fusing, to allow for the third magic to have point.
By the time you get your third magic, If I am to believe the current stats of the game a +120 magic requirement is needed for the second magic and likely a +240 magic requirement for the third magic.
This means at lvl 250 (around the second awakening) you’ll have 500 magic points in your first magic, around 380 points in your second magic, and 260 points in your newly unlocked third magic.
So as soon as you get the third magic you will still have access to blast and explosion shapes + ultimate arts.
So it is still very good comparatively to the difference between the first and second magic right now.
