Addons

Ashes of Urh'Rok 1.7.4

Official Expansion!

Many in Maj'Eyal have heard of "demons", sadistic creatures who appear seemingly from nowhere, leaving a trail of suffering and destruction whereever they go. Their Fearscape floats far above the skies, watching and waiting, but not idly; their agents scout the land, their legions build up their forces, and their scholars develop new spells and strategies. As the barrier between our worlds begins to crack under their scrutiny, helpless Eyalites have begun to disappear, whisked up to serve as their slaves and playthings. They imbue these victims with magical powers to better survive the ensuing stresses - can you use your new-found abilities to escape the legions of Mal'Rok?

Features:

  • Start with a new class, the Doombringer! These avatars of demonic destruction charge into battle with massive two-handed weapons, cutting swaths of firey devastation through hordes of opponents. Armed with flame magic and demonic strength, they delight in fighting against overwhelming odds, softening up the crowd with waves of fire, then feeding on the flames and suffering of their surroundings to stay alive while quickly reducing any group to a pile of ash and gore.
  • Unlock a new class, the Demonologist, with an all-new item enhancement mechanic! Bearing a shield and the magic of the Spellblaze itself, these melee-fighting casters can grow demonic seeds from their fallen enemies. Imbue these seeds onto your items to gain a wide array of new talents and passive benefits, and summon the demons within them to fight on your side! Ever looked at a gigantic demon-cursed minotaur and wished it was on your side for once? Well, now you CAN summon one to pound your foes into paste while you cast devastating spells from afar, or call forth a squad of Fire Imps to pelt your enemies to death while they exhaust themselves on your impenetrable defenses! Demons have persistent health, making them a little more precious than disposable necromancer skeletons or summoner beasts, but can be revived from death nonetheless.
  • Two new zones, with all-new art, foes, and bosses! You've seen the plains of the Fearscape before, now see the lairs and headquarters of the demons themselves!
  • Over 10,000 words of written lore to find! The demons were once an enlightened, peaceful race, hailing from a distant planet known as Mal'Rok; learn what drove them to plot Eyal's eternal torture! Discover monuments to each of the demonic species and noteworthy individuals, showing the place of honor each has among them! Get a glimpse into the culture and daily lives of these sadistic invaders and their brainwashed thralls!
  • Unlock a new race, Doomelves: Shalore who've taken to the demonic alterations especially well, corrupting their typical abilities into a darker form. Blink away to safety, transform into a shadowy dúathedlen to hide in the shadows or prey on your foes with blasts of darkness, use your new resilience to soak up status effects and critical hits, and assault your enemies' minds to leave them unsteady in combat!
  • Between the aforementioned classes and Doomelves, a whopping 75 new talents!
  • Unlock two new cosmetic options! You know you've always wanted demon-horns.
  • Two new events, appearing anywhere in Eyal!
  • 20 new artifacts, with unique and interesting effects. Collect the Obsidian Treasures to amass more and more power! Slip your hands into the Will of Ul'Gruth and watch your sweeping blows smash down walls! Wear a giant hideous hell-mouth as a fashionable belt!
  • 7 new achievements! Conquer the worst Urh'Rok's forces can throw at you, and hang their metaphorical skulls from your profile page!

Forbidden Cults 1.7.4

Official Expansion!

Not all adventurers seek fortune, not all that defend the world have good deeds in mind.
Lately the number of sightings of horrors have grown tremendously. People wander off the beaten paths only to be found years later, horribly mutated and partly insane, if they are found at all. It is becoming evident something is stirring deep below Maj'Eyal.
That something is you.

Forbidden Cults is a big expansion for Tales of Maj'Eyal to let you explore the horrors that lurk beneath the surface, to delve in long lost knowledge and lore and as usual to die a lot!


Forbidden Cults makes two new classes available to play:

  • Writhing One: Give in to the corrupting forces and turn yourself gradually into an horror, summon horrors to do your bidding, shed your skin and melt your face to assault your foes. With your arm already turned into a tentacle, what creature can stop you?
  • Cultist of Entropy: Using its insanity and control of entropic forces to unravel the normal laws of physic this caster class can turn healing into attacks and call upon the forces of the void to reduce its foes to dust.

Both those classes use a new resource called Insanity that gradually makes you both more chaotic and powerful as it fills up.


Forbidden Cults makes two new races available to play:

  • Drem: A corrupt subrace of dwarves, that somehow managed to keep a shred of sanity to not fully devolve into mindless horrors. They can enter a frenzy and even learn to summon horrors.
  • Krog: Ogres transformed by the very thing that should kill them. Their powerful attacks can stun their foes and they are so strong they can dual wield any one handed weapons.


Forbidden Cults adds many new zones for you to explore and die in:

  • Kroshkkur: An ancient Sher'tul Fortress laying half in ruins that serves as a focal point, and home, for all kinds of creatures seeking lost knowledge.
  • The Maggot: A huge living corrupted worm about to destroy Kroshkkur! Teleport inside and save your sanctuary of horrors!
  • The Godfeaster: Deep undergroud the ground shakes as ... -- redacted by corrupt forces --
  • The Scourge Pits: On the south of the Iron Throne lays a fool pit of ... -- redacted by corrupt forces --
  • Forbidden Tomes: Find special artifact books of ancient lore. But, read at your own peril, for the story they tell may very well suck you in... quite literally.
    Maybe you will even find The One That Writes...
  • Occult Egress: A strange, extremely old, contraption of unknown origin. It seems to require some kind of code sequence to activate. Maybe you will find some during your adventures?
  • The Entropic Void: So you think you are strong? Powerful? Invulnerable? In the end, entropy always wins, as you will learn...


What would an expansion about horrors be without a bunch of new horrors to torment you with? Please give a warm welcome to:

  • Searing Horrors: You liked luminous horrors? You loved radiant horrors? You will absolutely adore their searing big brothers!
  • Nethergates: It sleeps. Maybe it should stay that way.
  • Netherworms: Vampiric worm masses that are bound to tickle your fancy! And tickle hard.
  • Fearful Symmetry: Geometry has never been so lively!
  • Entropic Shards: Take an entropic crystal, shatter it with tentacles. And die.
  • : And more ...


"DarkGod, is that all?" Obviously not! You will also find your usual addition of:

  • Lore: Delve into the dark forgotten secrets of the world, where sanity is a very tenuous idea.
  • Artifacts: Discover new objects of power and use them to further your own goals.
  • New wyrmic tree: Unlock the scourge drake for your wyrmics.
  • Glass Golem: Unlock the glass golem option for your alchemists.
  • Events: Discover new strange contraptions in familiar zones. What could go wrong?
  • Achievements: Because there can never be enough!

Embers of Rage 1.7.4

Official Expansion!

One year has passed since the one the Orcs call the "Scourge from the West" came and single-handedly crushed the Orc Prides of Grushnak, Vor, Gorbat, and Rak'Shor.  The Allied Kingdoms, now linked by farportal to their distant, long-lost Sunwall allies, have helped them conquer most of Var'Eyal.  The few remnants of the ravaged Prides are caged...  but one Pride remains.  Kruk Pride, isolated on an island, is the last orcish settlement that stands; they, too, face their impending doom.  The Sunwall has blockaded the only exit point from the island, and now, the technologically advanced civilization of Steam Giants have come down from the mountains to take their homeland with machines and weaponry unlike anything else on Eyal.  Kruk Pride has reverse-engineered their technology before; their only hope is to do it again and rise up against the Pride's foes.
 

Features:

  • Explore a whole new campaign from level 1 to 50, one year after the events of the original Tales of Maj'Eyal campaign. Liberate the Orcs (or die trying) by rising up against the Sunwall, the Steam Giants of Atmos, and other dangers that may lie in wait...
  • Play as one of three new races: the battle-hardened Orcs, the brutal Yetis, and the unstoppable Whitehooves. Discover their stories, their pains, their hopes... and their awesome racial powers!
  • Risk your life in over 20 unique zones! Explore the ruins of a lost city, lay siege to the Sunwall forces at the Gates of Morning, and raid the Steam Giants' mining quarry - each has its own unique foes and hazards, leading each to feel and play different from the others.
  • Play as one of the four new tinker classes: Gunslingers, Sawbutchers, Psyshots and Annihilators! Plus a class evolution: Technomancers! Crush and rend your foes with heavy metal, electrocute and immolate them with your gadgets, charge across the battlefield or nimbly strafe in style - each plays differently, and none provide any shortage of ways to slay your foes.
  • Master steam technology to build powerful tinkers to augment your equipment. Need to close in a bit quicker? Turn your boots into rocket boots! Having a hard time deciding whether to shoot someone or stab them? Build a Hand Cannon into your gloves, or deploy a Weapon Automaton to do the stabbing for you! If you have a problem, steamtech has a solution, usually involving explosions; with over 80 different powerful contraptions to craft, enjoy unparalleled versatility and trying something different with every playthrough.
  • Master the tactical uses of over 140 talents! Fire bouncing trick-shots and psychic-infused shots, use your steamsaws as shields or wheels, terrify your foes with long mechanical arms - there are no "boring" talents here, everything has its own special applications and properties!
  • Use advanced technology in the world of Eyal! Burrow through sand, plant bombs to destroy tunnels, and discover that you aren't alone in using it...
  • Infusions and runes are for puny humans; implant new medical injectors to pump an array of experimental chemicals into your body! Injectors can use any (infinitely reusable) salve in your inventory as long as they're off their cooldown, giving you versatility you've wished you could get with a couple of inscriptions.
  • Loot over 70 new and powerful artifacts. Pump lead into foes with big guns, quick guns, and explosive guns! Shred them with saws that maim, saws that thirst for blood, and saws that aren't really saws! Violate common sense by strapping a rocket to your back and calling it a jetpack!
  • Enjoy dying in horrible and exotic ways at the hands (or claws, jaws, guns...) of over 140 new creatures! Not mere piles of stats and chain-stuns, these foes will provide unique challenges - suffer the Sunwall's newest cosmic spells, the new breeds of ritches that infest and multiply, the Steam Giants' elaborate defense systems, and find new strategies to adapt to each!
  • Earn a trunkload of achievements! Have your accomplishments recognized for liberating the Orcish people, displaying exceptional mercy or cruelty, or showing your prowess with impressive feats! Give a boss a fate worse than death, show Sunwall forces how frustrating it is to fight a Radiant Horror as a paladin, come out on top against impossible odds, display a suicidal lack of situational awareness, and wear a badge of pride or shame for each!
  • Read roughly 27,000 words of new lore to immerse yourself in the world! Learn how things have changed since the Scourge's campaign, feel hatred and/or pity for your foes, uncover grand schemes and sinister plots, and notice the elaborate connections between Var'Eyal's numerous factions. Every zone has a story behind it, and every story ties into a bigger picture; enjoy a tale of horror and humor, of intrigue and glory, of despair and hope.
  • Earn the right to use the classic (and Ashes of Urh'Rok) classes in Embers of Rage, and the new tinker classes in Maj'Eyal! Play a Brawler in the East to fulfill your life-long dream of suplexing an entire nation of giants, or play a Sawbutcher in Maj'Eyal to shred through Dreadfell in a whirlwind of sawblades and steam!
Embers of Rage 1.7.4

Mage Knight 1.7.0

Adds the Mage Knight metaclass, and its six sub-classes.

Forum discussion thread: http://forums.te4.org/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=48329

Phoenix Knight: Powerful warriors who blast their foes with solar fire while calling healing light upon their allies. Their solar fire attacks will strike as either fire or light damage, whichever will hit their target the hardest, and their potent healing and cleansing abilities make them tough opponents to bring down.

Mind Knight: Psionic warriors who strengthen their mental abilities by tapping into their inner magic. Adept at telekinesis, telepathy, and teleportation, they are mobile scouts who can quickly get a lay of the land and sow chaos among their foes with physical and mental debilitations, or even outright compulsions.

Storm Knight: Swift skirmishers who rely on extreme mobility and powerful lightning magic to strike their foes down and avoid reprisals. Extremely fast and difficult to pin down, they can cast entire enemy units into disarray with their wealth of area attacks. All mage knights can cast while they fight, but experienced storm knights are also able to fight while they move.

Earth Knight: The heaviest of infantry, earth knights hammer their foes with physical and natural forces while shielding themselves with the power of the earth. Highly resilient in the face of any attack, earth knights provide a slow and steady offense supported by powerful gemstone shields and the endurance of a living mountain.

Sea Knight: Healers first, fighters second, battle mages a somewhat distant third, while sea knights lack the raw offensive power of other mage knights, they make up for it with amazing personal defense and recovery abilities. And though their attacks may be individually weak, like the sea itself, they are able to wear down even the strongest defenses eventually, eroding their opponents away with gradually strengthening spells, making them terrors in a battle of attrition.

Mana Knight: Experimenting pioneers who do amazing things with raw magical energy. They have the most conventional magical training of the mage knights, even if they sometimes put it to unconventional use. Their arcane attacks can overwhelm the powers of other spellcasters, and while they lack the scope of power of full-fledged archmages, they are masters of the fundamentals of the various arcane schools.

Spell / Magical Fundamentals1.00
  • Effective talent level: 1.0
    Use mode: Activated
    Essence cost: 50
    Range: melee/personal
    Cooldown: 12
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: Spell (100% of a turn)
    Is: a spell
    Description: You have mastered the fundamentals of aegis magic - healing and shielding. You simultaneously heal a target for 40 life and create a damage shield with a value of 40 that lasts for 3 turns (if the target already has a shield, this will instead add to its power). If the healing would bring the target above its maximum life, any excess gets added to the shield's power. The effect can crit.

    This talent can be triggered by Eldritch Combat.

    This talent carries a secondary effect with a 40 shield power.

    Extended mechanics information below. To hide this section, disable the Tooltips Helpers option in the Mage Knight Plus tab of the Game Options menu.

    Secondary Effect: Talents that shield or heal as their primary effect and which take a turn to use may carry a secondary effect. This provides an additional shield or heal one turn after the talent is used. The value of the secondary effect is typically lower than the primary effect (though this may not be the case if some of the talent's power goes to other effects), and it does not carry any special effects that the main effect might. The secondary effect is boosted by 1% per percent of your missing life or lost shield value at the time of the trigger. Secondary Effects cannot be triggered if the talent was originally triggered by Eldritch Combat.

    Description: You cast an advanced divination spell, mapping the terrain in a radius of 0 and allowing you to sense all creatures in the area for 0 turns.

    You then attack a target, taking advantage of your foreknowledge to strike exactly where it is most vulnerable. This attack gets a 19 bonus to Accuracy, ignores invisibility and evasion effects, and deals 95% weapon damage, with 9% improved critical strike chance and 13% improved critical power. The critical augmentations also apply if the attack happens to trigger Eldritch Combat.

    This talent can be triggered by Eldritch Combat.

    Description: You are skilled in the fundamentals of conveyance magic. You can teleport yourself to a space that you can see within a range of 5 (you may bypass obstacles as long as you can see the target location). Your arrival creates a ripple in space in a radius 1, stunning enemies within for 0 turns. Your departure creates a similar ripple, dazing rather than stunning.

    If you attempt to teleport to your current location, you will instead teleport yourself to a random location within range 50. This will teleport you at least fifteen tiles if possible. This increases the Essence cost of the talent to 50.

    This spell can be triggered by Eldritch Combat, in which case it only causes the ripples in space, but the total overlap makes the ripples larger, doubling the areas.

    Description: While your focus is on pure arcane forces, mana remains the fundamental force behind all magical energy manifestations, and you occasionally experiment with one of the others. Or, you know, a few of them. All at once. BUT YOU'RE REALLY CAREFUL THOUGH!

    You hurl up to 1 blasts of random energy at random opponents within range 10, no more than 1 of which can target a given opponent. Each blast is individually fairly weak, dealing 30 damage. However, each blast has a radius of 1, so the combined force can be devastating against a tightly-clustered group. While such a conflagration of random magical energy may seem risky to unleash, your experimental safeguards ensure that you and any friendlies come out unscathed.

    Number of blasts scales with Spellpower. The number of blasts can crit, but the damage does not.

    This talent can be triggered by Eldritch Combat.

    Pure mana attacks deal arcane damage. You control the energy precisely, only harming enemies.

This tremendous blast of magic is enough to shut down latent forces, putting 1 talents of each target on cooldown for 1 turns. Latent spell energy is violently disrupted, increasing the damage done to that target by 10% per spell shut down.

    This spell can be triggered by Eldritch Combat.

Spell / Arcane Expertimentation1.00
  • Effective talent level: 1.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: You may push the boundaries of magic, but you make sure to do so safely. Your various arcane safeguards provide you with 18% Arcane, Temporal, and Blight resistance, and 6% Arcane, Temporal, and Blight resistance caps. Further, your control of magic enables you to potentially cast spells with will alone, translating into a 11% resistance to silence effects. Resistances scale with Willpower. However, your experimental approach to magic causes some disruption to the natural world, which returns the favor when it gets the chance. Your Nature Resistance and cap is reduced by 4%.

    You can also use your wardings to fuel your shields while in combat. If you have a damage or time shield active, your ward negation for the turn will add to its power rather than standing on its own. If it's a new shield, any leftover points from last turn will fuel it as well.
    Experimental Safeguards
1/5
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: You use your magic to manipulate probability to your benefit. Your Luck increases by 0, your Accuracy by 0, and your chance to crit (with attacks and spells) by 0%. Values scale with Willpower.
    Fiddling With Chance
0/5
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Fixed Cooldown: 15
    Description: You've improved upon your personal wardings, adding an additional layer of defense. When you take damage, if you do not currently have a damage shield and this talent is not on cooldown, you will generate a damage shield with a value of 0. This will occur in time to block damage from the triggering attack.

    You also convert half of your bonus healing factor to a shield factor. Your current shield factor is 100%.

    Shield value scales with Willpower.
    Practicing With Wards
0/5
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: You've begun conducting experiments into the flow of time. What could go wrong? Each turn, while enemies are in sight, you have a 0% chance to gain 0 "moments". The effects of your moments are randomly determined. At raw talent level 1, your moments can either be converted into one free move each (this will not occur if you already have free movements) or add 3 Temporal damage each to your attacks for 3 turns. At raw talent level 2, each odd-numbered moment can conserve one turn of duration for a random beneficial effect. At raw talent level 3, each moment can reduce the duration of a random detrimental effect by one turn. At raw talent level 4, each moment can lower the cooldown of a random talent by one turn. At raw talent level 5, each moment can grant one-tenth of a bonus turn (to a maximum of a full turn).

    All moments generated by any instance of this talent will do the same sort of thing (though not necessarily all to the same effect or talent). Moments that don't have a subject to work on will reduce the amount of time until the effect can trigger again. The effect is determined randomly, but weighted by which will be most useful at the time.

    Tip: When the effect triggers, it will come with a burst of harmless temporal energy. If you gain free movement, this energy will be green. If you gain bonus temporal damage, orange. If you sustain beneficial effects, cyan. If you reduce detrimental effects, red. If you cool down talents, yellow. If you gain time, white.

Generic Talents

Technique / Weapons Master1.00
  • Effective talent level: 1.0
    Use mode: Activated
    Essence cost: 30
    Range: 6
    Cooldown: 10
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: Weapon (80% of a turn)
    Description: Focusing your power, you leap to a chosen square in a range of 6. If your chosen square is occupied, you land in a random square adjacent to the target and attack it, dealing 90% weapon damage. Otherwise, if there are any enemies adjacent to your target square, you attack one at random.

    If the target dies as a result of this attack, you are able to chain additional Leaping Strikes at new targets. The talent doesn't go on cooldown, and for the next ten turns you can use Leaping Strike without spending Essence. However, each sequential use lowers all damage inflicted (including from procs) to 50% of normal. This penalty stacks with multiple sequential uses. In addition, you cannot target an open space with this talent while chaining; you can only use it to target new enemies.

    The special effect your fighting style applies to Eldritch Combat is increased by 10%.

    If this attack triggers Eldritch Combat, it will always trigger a Bolt attack, when that spell is available.

    With a two-handed weapon, you go for the face, blinding the target.

    With a weapon and shield, you follow up with a powerful bash, stunning the target.

    With a single weapon (or unarmed), you make precisely disabling strikes, disarming and silencing the target.

    With dual weapons, you make a disorienting barrage of attacks, confusing the target.

    If this attack triggers Eldritch Combat, it will always trigger a Wave attack, when that spell is available.

    If you are wielding a two-handed weapon, you lower their resistances to all damage.

    If you are wielding a weapon and shield, you lower all of their damage percentages.

    If you are wielding a single weapon (or unarmed), you lower their Accuracy, Defense, Saves, and Powers.

    If you are wielding dual weapons, you lower their global speed.

    If this attack triggers Eldritch Combat, it will always trigger a Burst attack, when that spell is available.

0/5
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Activated
    Essence cost: 30
    Range: 5
    Cooldown: 10
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: Weapon (80% of a turn)
    Description: You use your magic to physically attack a distant foe, in much the same way as with the Arcane Strike talent, except instead of using your power to wield your weapon at a distance, you use it to pull your target in close and then attack it twice for 57% weapon damage. You keep whatever magic you used to pull your target active for a time, hampering their mobility for 2 turns and forcing them to target you. If this attack kills your target, the surge of victory empowers your magic, allowing you to hamper the mobility of all enemies in radius 2 instead.

    If you wield a two-handed weapon, hampered targets are pulled towards you one tile per turn.

    If you wield a weapon and shield, hampered targets are pinned.

    If you wield a single weapon (or are unarmed), hampered targets have their movement speed halved.

    If you wield dual weapons, you have a 50% chance each turn to force the target to move one tile towards you; this costs the target time as if it spent a turn moving.

    Regardless of the exact results, hampering is resisted as a physical pin effect.

    If this attack triggers Eldritch Combat, it will always trigger a Blast attack, when that spell is available.

    Description: While Highers are not meant to rule other humans - and show no particular will to do so - they are frequently called to higher duties.
    Their nature grants them better senses than other humans.
    Increase blindness immunity by 4%, maximum sight range by 1, and increases existing infravision, and heightened senses range by 1.

    Use mode: Sustained
    Range: melee/personal
    Cooldown: 0
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: Instant (0% of a turn)
    Description: The iconic power of the Mage Knights, you channel the raw energy of your magic outwardly as you fight, saving the effort of taking active control of your power and allowing it to flow freely. Your channeled power is visible as a brightly colored aura around you.

    Your first successful melee attack each turn grants a 25% chance to trigger one of various Mage Knight talents instead of dealing the bonus damage. This reduces the cooldown of the talent to one-third normal and the Essence cost to one-fifth normal. The talent operates at two-thirds normal power. Triggered talents are determined randomly, but with prioritization based on how useful they are in the moment (spells that restore life are more likely to trigger when low on life, spells that attack multiple foes are more likely to trigger the more foes ar around, etc). Talents of higher talent level are generally prioritized over those of lower level.

    If you are wielding a two-handed weapon, triggered talents operate at full power.

    If you are using a shield, when you trigger a talent, you also have a 50% chance to automatically Block. Defensive talents have their priority increased when using a shield.

    If you are using two weapons, when you trigger a talent, you have a 50% chance to trigger the talent a second time at no further resource cost.

    If you are using a single one-handed weapon (or unarmed), your chance of triggering a talent is increased by half.

    Note that since Essence users rely on channeling minimal amounts of mana, but are able to combine them with mental and physical effort to produce potent magical effects, they don't receive the normal staff accuracy bonus. Instead, when wielding a staff, they deal bonus damage of their favored energy type equal to one-third their Magic stat plus two per point their Accuracy exceeds their target's Defense (short staves do not change this calculation).
    Eldritch Combat
1/5
  • Effective talent level: 1.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: You have placed runic wards on your skin that protect you from harm. Your wards can shrug off 3% of all incoming damage. Levels in the Thick Skin talent will deduct from this bonus.

    Your wards also rejuvenate energy quickly, reflected in a 3 bonus to life regeneration.

    Since your wards are runic in nature, their energy rejuvenation also applies to your inscriptions. Each turn you have a 2% chance to lower the cooldown of all of your runes and infusions by 1 and remove their saturation effects. Some of the energy absorbed by your wards also goes to facilitate this, increasing the chance by the percentage of your maximum life that has been lost (so if you're at half life, the chance would be increased by 50% to 3%).

    Values scale with Willpower.

    Extended mechanics information below. To hide this section, disable the Tooltips Helpers option in the Mage Knight Plus tab of the Game Options menu.

    Damage Shrug: You reduce all incoming damage by the listed percentage. This only applies to the damage that gets through to your life.
    Eldritch Wardings

  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Activated
    Essence cost: 30
    Range: 5
    Cooldown: 20
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: Weapon (80% of a turn)
    Description: You can channel magic through your weapon, or wield your weapon through your magic. When you use this attack, you wield your weapon by supernatural means. Phoenix Knight conjure talons of flame to hold their weapons. Mind Knights wield them telekinetically. Storm Knights manipulate currents of wind to wield them. Earth Knights control the wood, stone, and metal that makes them up directly. Sea Knights wield them in cohesive tendrils of water. Mana Knights project magical hands that wield them.

    Regardless of the method, this lets you attack an enemy at range 5 for 45% weapon damage. In addition, if the attack hits, it is guaranteed to trigger Eldritch Combat, and the prioritization factor increases by a power of 0.5, making the talents most useful in your current situation more likely to trigger.

    This talent also passively enhances your ability to channel power through your aura and weapons. While Eldritch Combat is active, you now shed light bright enough to illuminate all tiles in a 3 radius and reduce the Stealth and Invisibility of enemies within that radius by 0. Your melee attacks passively deal 1 additional damage of your favored energy type. Stealth and Invisibility reduction scale with Willpower and bonus damage scales with the better of Spellpower or Mindpower.
    Eldritch Strike
0/5
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: Essence is fundamentally a combination of Stamina, Psi, and Mana, combining physical, mental, and magical reserves into a single pool of energy. Marshalling all your energies together takes effort, but you are able to recover substantially faster than most. Your Essence regeneration improves by 0.0, scaling strongly with Willpower.

    In addition, when you pass a turn during combat (default hotkey 5) the brief rest combined with the high adrenaline allows you more opportunity to recover. You regain 0 life (based on your current life regeneration with a cap based on maximum life), 0 Essence (based on your current Essence regeneration), and have a 10% chance to lower the cooldown of all non-fixed cooldown talents by 1. You also gain an additional 0 Surge value that turn. This only works while there are enemies in your vicinity; if you're in a safe location, you don't have enough adrenaline pumping to receive the benefit. These values also scale with Willpower.

    Extended mechanics information below. To hide this section, disable the Tooltips Helpers option in the Mage Knight Plus tab of the Game Options menu.

    Surge Value: Each turn, you gain the listed surge value. If this causes your surge value to exceed 100, your surge value lowers by 100 and you lower the duration of all detrimental effects upon you by 1.

Technique / Flexible Combat Training1.00
  • Effective talent level: 1.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: You are trained in the use of all melee weapons. You get a 16 bonus to Accuracy, 4% critical chance, and a 20% bonus to weapon damage with any melee weapons. These bonuses are increased by 25% when wielding a two-handed weapon.

    You also receive a +30 bonus to Physical Power.

    When you first learn this talent, you may substitute Magic for all other abilities for purposes of weapon damage and weapon requirements. You are also able to make two attacks per round regardless of fighting style, as follows:
    -When armed with two weapons, they may both be one-handed weapons. For each dagger that you wield, your offhand damage modifier increases by 25% and your combat speed by 10% (if you wield a single dagger or a dagger with a shield this modifier will apply to the bonus attack from them as well).
    -When armed with a two-handed weapon, any time you attack you make a second attack for 25% normal damage.
    -When armed with a shield, any time you attack you also execute a shield bash for 50% normal damage.
    -When armed with a single weapon (or unarmed) any time you attack you also make an unarmed strike for 50% normal damage. When fully unarmed you get a +20% bonus to your combat speed.

    The damage bonuses don't stack with those from other mastery talents. The Accuracy and critical bonuses don't apply if you know the Combat Accuracy talent or if you have a Steam pool.
    Flexible Weapon Training
1/5
  • Effective talent level: 1.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: You are trained in the use of all armor. You get a +8% bonus to armor hardiness, as well as bonuses to various defensive stats depending on armor worn. The effects of this talent are increased by 25% if you are using a shield.
    Cloth Armor: 4% Resist Cap, 4% Resist All, 6% lower chance to receive physical critical hits.
    Light Armor: 8% Physical Resistance, 16 Defense*, 6% chance to shrug off physical critical hits.
    Massive Armor: 16% additional Armor Hardiness, 8 Armor, 6% reduced critical multiplier when receiving physical critical hits.
    Heavy Armor: Receives half of all above benefits.

    *The Defense bonus will be converted to a 4 point Damage Mitigation if your existing Dexterity and Defense are low enough that it does not seem like you have sufficient investment in Defense for it to be a useful form of defense for you.

    The effects do not apply if you know the Heavy Armour Training or Light Armour Training, or Thick Skin talents, or if you have a Steam pool.

    When you first learn this talent, you may substitute Magic for all other abilities for purposes of armor requirements, and you gain the ability to wear all forms of armor.

    Extended mechanics information below. To hide this section, disable the Tooltips Helpers option in the Mage Knight Plus tab of the Game Options menu.

    Damage Mitigate: Reduces each instance of damage received by the listed amount (as a flat total), to a maximum of up to 30% of the damage with 30% armor hardiness to 50% of the damage at 100% armor hardiness. If you have Damage Withstand, Damage Mitigate, and Damage Ignore, only the one that would reduce the most damage applies to any given instance of damage.
