QuickTome: Improved Recall 1.4.8

Changes to make ToME faster to play without providing gameplay advantages.

You may freely modify and redistribute this addon and its contents, except where otherwise indicated in the Credits section below.

Weight: 216890

Full list of effects

- After generating the world map, using zone exits or recalling allows you to teleport to most reachable zones, instead of having to walk through the world map. Recalling can still drag doomelves/doombringers/demonologists to the Anteroom of Agony, and the teleportation won't let you bypass Crypt of Kryl'Feijan, Godfeaster, or the Dreadfell ambush.

- Maj'Eyal characters start with the Orb of Communication, which can be used to contact the alchemists, Elder of Last Hope, Protector Myssil, and Zemekkys when appropriate.

- Achievement pop-ups and announcing your own achievements in chat can be disabled in the game UI and Online options, respectively.

- Added an easily toggleable "digging mode" that automatically uses your Dig talent when you move into a diggable wall with no hostiles in sight.

Credits

The icon used for Toggle Digging Mode is licensed under CC-BY 3.0: https://game-icons.net/1x1/delapouite/war-pick.html
The sprite used for Orb of Communication is based on existing Tales of Maj'Eyal graphics and may not be used in other games.

Changelog

1.1.0

- This version is not compatible with savegames from previous versions!

- Updated for ToME4 version 1.6.7
- Bug fix: Recall teleportation and Orb of Communication can no longer be screwed up by triggering them while controlling e.g. a golem instead of the player character
- Bug fix: Recall teleportation no longer allows teleporting to Derth when you shouldn't be able to
- Bug fix: Recall teleportation will no longer crash in custom campaigns. (do any of these exist?)
- Bug fix: Recall teleportation finally deals with Ruined Halfling Complex, Sher-Tul Fortress, and Unremarkable Cave wilderness position setting.
- Bug fix: Recall teleportation falls back to vanilla behaviour in "sub-zones" such as intimidating caves.
- Bug fix: The Kruk Pride zone exit and similar exits now offer teleportation (after you've generated the world map, of course!).
- Recall teleportation no longer allows you to postpone encountering Crypt of Kryl'Feijan or Godfeaster.
- Recall teleportation no longer allows you to teleport to Thieves' Tunnels or Tempest Peak.
- Recall teleportation can now only be used after you've generated the world map by visiting it once (campaigns often expect you to generate the world map before entering some zones).

Turn Separators v2 1.6.0

Description
This is my improved version of Turn Separators mod. writed by David Forrester (aka codefly). It's still add separators -> "--------"
"Have you ever noticed that the newlines in ToME's battle log don't always correspond to where you took your turn? This addon places "--------" turn separator lines at the exact points you made a move so that you can easily tell what has taken place since your last move, and what text corresponds to the turn before that"

I just fixed OoDChecker. This was good idea with update mod in a time, but ...

Turn Separators v2 1.6.0

Mage Knight 1.6.0

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.

Mage Knight 1.6.0

Select your Escorts 1.5.0

Allows you to choose which escorts you will encounter at the start of the game.
You may change the future encounters in the game menu (Esc).

There is an option to choose a random escort in case you just wanted to guarantee some unlocks before continuing with the base game's behavior.

Note: You're only supposed to be able to choose the lost tinker once. (Must have the Embers of Rage DLC and unlocked by playing in the Orcs campaign)
Note: Unfortunately the only time that addons can get the possible escort types is after the random escort quest is assigned.
This means escorts added by other addons will not be available for selection, but will still be possible to find using the random selection.

To reach me faster, please leave a message on the Steam Workshop page. I don't get notifications on te4.org so I may take longer to reply.

Ashes of Urh'Rok 1.7.0

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!

Ashes of Urh'Rok 1.7.0

Frost Invoker 1.6.7

Sholtar 1.5.5

Sholtar have no racial talents of their own; instead, the four slots can be used to learn talents from defeated enemies (of a high enough rank). In this manner, the Sholtar can improve nearly any class by adding abilities from other calsses, or even talents that are normally exclusive to NPCs.
Sholtar are not quite as hardy as other humans, and receive -2 to strength, dexterity and constitution, and have a life rating of 8. On the other hand, they are exceptionally quick-witted, with a bonus of +6 to cunning, an extra generic point every 3 levels, and an experience 'penalty' of -20%.

---

The Sholtar were once a great nation, with many vasts cities in the southeastern regions of Maj'Eyal. In spite of the harsh, dry terrain they inhabitied, or perhaps because of it, they were a people of great ingenuity and adaptability.

The Cataclysm which tore the world apart centuries ago swept nearly all of the Sholtar lands into the murky depths, and all but erased their people from the face of Eyal.

While very few survived, those who did fought for survival with all of the wit and grit that was their birthright. An already adaptable people grew to become even more adaptable through neccessity, and it has become their greatest strength.

Sholtar are able to learn abilities by carefully studying others, and, regardless of their class, they can always improve by incorporating the talents of others into thier skill set.

Sholtar 1.5.5

Embers of Rage 1.7.0

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!

ZOmnibus Addon Pack 1.4.0

Combines several smaller utility addons, both for convenience and potentially reduced resource usage on smaller machines.

    Includes the following addons:

    A superset of ZOmnibus Lite.

      Frequently Asked Questions:

      ZOmnibus Addon Pack 1.4.0

      Forbidden Cults 1.5.9

      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!

      Class Talents

      Psionic / Psychic Body1.30
      • Effective talent level: 2.6
        Use mode: Passive
        Is: a mind power
        Description: Your mind is an impervious fortress, and your telekinesis reinforces your grip. You increase your Mind Resistance by 27%, your Confusion, Sleep, and Disarm Resistance by 14%, and your Mind Resistance Cap by 12%. However, channeling your inner magic through your mind in this way leaves you somewhat vulnerable to overloads of arcane energy, lowering your Arcane resistance and cap by 8%. Resistances scale with Magic.
        Fortress of Will
      		2/5
      • Effective talent level: 0.0
        Use mode: Passive
        Is: a mind power
        Description: You are able to psychically cloak your presence from your foes, causing them to overlook you as long as you don't draw attention to yourself. You gain Stealth with a value equal to 15 plus half your Mindpower (currently 24), and your Mindpower increases by 1, scaling with Magic.

        This process also makes you more aware of your opponents. You can detect other characters in a radius of 3, even through walls.

        Your stealth breaks when you make an attack or use most talents, and it doesn't reset until you leave combat. At raw talent level 3, you also reset your stealth any time you teleport, as your sudden change in position causes your foes to lose track of you again.

        At raw talent level 5, any time you reset your stealth in combat, you attempt to erase the memory of your presence from your foes, potentially causing them to cease targeting you (this allows a mental save and checks confusion resistance).
        Cerebral Stalker
      		0/5
      • Effective talent level: 0.0
        Use mode: Passive
        Is: a mind power
        Description: You have learned to use your ability to cloak yourself from enemies to both perform devastating ambushes. Any time you hit a target who was not currently targeting you with a melee attack, you inflict a bonus 2 Physical damage and potentially stun it for 1 turns. If you make multiple sneak attacks, they all inflict extra damage, but only the first in any given turn imposes detrimental effects. Damage and duration scale with Magic.

        Your psychic awareness also improves. You now constantly map the terrain in a radius of 3.

        At raw talent level 3, your sneak attacks badly startle anyone who witnesses them, and within your mapping range you can use your psychic powers to make that shock deadly. Any witnesses to the attack (other than your target) receives 2 Mind damage and may be dazed for 1 turns. If you sneak attack multiple foes in the same turn, only the first causes this effect.

        At raw talent level 5, your stealth resets any time you kill an opponent.
        Cerebral Assassin
      		0/5
      • Effective talent level: 0.0
        Use mode: Passive
        Is: a mind power
        Description: You are able to exert mental control over your body. This allows you to sharpen your physical senses, improving your ability to see stealthy and invisible opponents by 2; at raw talent level 5, you also take no penalty to hit an opponent you can't see.

        Your ability to control your own responses to ailments gives you a 1% chance each turn to remove one detrimental effect. In addition, you can recover from damage rapidly as long as your concentration is unbroken. In any turn that you do not receive damage, you have an equal chance to recover 5 life.

        The effects of this talent scale with Magic.

      Psionic / Psychic Attack1.30
      • Effective talent level: 2.6

        Range: 10
        Cooldown: 4
        Travel Speed: instantaneous
        Usage Speed: Mind (100% of a turn)
        Is: a mind power
        Description: You unleash a bolt of telekinetic force or telepathic power, dealing 76 physical or 91 mind damage in a line. Damage improves with your Mindpower.

        You can sustain the Telekinetic Focus or Telepathic Focus talents to determine whether you attack telekinetically or telepathically. If neither are sustained, you switch each time you use a Psychic Attack talent (either actively or through eldritch combat). Some other talents also have different effects based on telekinetic or telepathic focus, but only Psychic Attack talents change your current focus.

        At raw talent level 3, a telekinetic bolt hits hard enough to daze the target for 2 turns.

        At raw talent level 3, a telepathic bolt can put the target in a hypnotic trance, reducing global speed by 50%, reducing Defense to 0, and negating Evasion effects for 2 turns. This trance breaks immediately upon receiving any damage.

        Psychic attacks are perfectly controlled by your mind, and will only harm your enemies.

        The Advanced Energy effect of your Psychic Attack talents causes enemies hit by a telekinetic attack to be pushed away from you, or enemies hit by a telepathic attack to be compelled to move towards you (treated as a pull, but resisted as confusion). The effect moves targets up to one tile per 100 points of the talent's base power.

        This talent can be triggered by Eldritch Combat.

        Description: You unleash a wave of telekinetic force or telepathic power, dealing 9 physical or 11 mind damage in a radius 3 cone. Damage improves with your Mindpower.

        At raw talent level 3, a telekinetic wave will yank your targets' weapons from their hands, disarming them for 1 turns.

        At raw talent level 3, a telepathic wave fills targets with a sense of awe that leaves them speechless, effectively silencing them for 1 turns.

        This talent can be triggered by Eldritch Combat.

        At raw talent level 3, a telekinetic burst slams your foes with such force that they are stunned for 1 turns.

        At raw talent level 3, a telepathic burst overwhelms your foes' minds, leaving them confused (50% power) for 1 turns.

        This talent can be triggered by Eldritch Combat.

        Description: You unleash a blast of telekinetic force or telepathic power, dealing 9 physical or 11 mind damage in a radius of 1. Damage improves with your Mindpower.

        At raw talent level 3, a telekinetic blast allows you to bind your foes with your mind, pinning them for 1 turns.

        At raw talent level 3, a telepathic blast lulls all foes into slumber, putting them to sleep for 1 turns (losing one turn per 3 damage received).

        This spell can be triggered by Eldritch Combat.

      Psionic / Psychic Gifts1.30
      • Effective talent level: 2.6
        Use mode: Activated
        Essence cost: 42.6
        Range: 7
        Cooldown: 20
        Travel Speed: instantaneous
        Usage Speed: Instant (0% of a turn)
        Is: a mind power
        Description: You are able to teleport yourself up to 7 tiles within line of sight.
        At raw talent level 2, you can teleport characters other than yourself.
        At raw talent level 3, you may teleport up to 2 separate targets per use of this talent, allowing you to reshape the battlefield to your liking. You cannot teleport the same target multiple times.
        At raw talent level 4, any opponent you teleport is disoriented, Dazing it for 3 turns (this checks Confusion resistance).
        At raw talent level 5, disoriented opponents are Confused as well.

        This talent takes no time to use, unless you initiate more than one teleport.

        This talent can be triggered by Eldritch Combat. In this case, you make a single immediate teleport to a random opponent in your teleport range, make a bonus attack against it for 120% damage, and teleport back to your old position. This sudden attack can catch foes off-guard, giving a 60% chance of causing cross-tier brainlock or off-balance status (depending on if you are currently using telepathic or telekinetic effects).
        Astral Jaunt
      		2/5
      • Effective talent level: 0.0

        Cooldown: 8
        Travel Speed: instantaneous
        Usage Speed: Mind (100% of a turn)
        Is: a mind power
        Description: You teleport adjacent to the target opponent if you aren't already (this teleport does not require line of sight or knowledge of the terrain, but must target an enemy), making a weapon attack for 76% damage. If this attack hits, you get 2% of a turn, or double that if the target dies.

        Starting at raw talent level 2, before you teleport, you will psychically scan the area, revealing all creatures in range. At level 3 you will also map the terrain. At level 4 you will also detect traps. At level 5 you will also detect objects. This scan occurs before choosing a target, so you may use the data you gain to inform your choices. However, once you've gained this information, cancelling the talent without selecting a target will still cost Essence.

        This talent can be triggered by Eldritch Combat.

        Travel Speed: instantaneous
        Usage Speed: Mind (100% of a turn)
        Is: a mind power
        Description: You engage in a rapid series of teleports around the battlefield, striking each enemy you reach. You can teleport a maximum number of 0 times, up to a range of 2 from your starting point. You teleport to randomly determined opponents in turn, striking each one for 22% weapon damage before teleporting to the next. If you have fewer enemies than potential teleports, you can attack a given enemy up to 0 times, but you will divide your attacks evenly, attacking everyone once before taking a second attack, for example. At the end of your assault, you instantly teleport to a location chosen at the start within the talent's radius.

        This talent can be triggered by Eldritch Combat. When it is, it instead teleports you back to your original position.

        Usage Speed: Mind (100% of a turn)
        Is: a mind power
        Description: You project your will upon a foe, attempting to control its mind. If the target fails to resist (using Mental save and checking Confusion resistance; higher-rank targets get multiple chances to save) it falls under your control for 2 turns.

        You compel the target to fight with maximum aggression, increasing all damage by 0%, but lowering all resists by the same.

        Each turn the target is compelled, it builds up 1 points of psychic trauma. When your control ends, the target immediately takes the total accumulated trauma as mind damage.

        You also subtly manipulate your other enemies; if they fail to resist, they will prioritize taking down the target you compelled, setting it as their target.

        This talent can be triggered by Eldritch Combat.

        If you are wielding dual weapons, you reduce the durations of up to 1 detrimental effects by one per target struck.

        If you are wielding a two-handed weapon, you recover 1 Essence per target struck.

        Travel Speed: instantaneous
        Usage Speed: Weapon (100% of a turn)
        Description: You lash out with a pair of attacks for 34% damage. If both attacks hit, you gain a shield effect with a value of 0 for 3 turns.

        If you wield dual weapons, you shift fluidly from offense to defense and back again, your whirling weapons creating a reflection shield.

        If you wield a two-handed weapon, you throw yourself into a berserk fury, denying any injury. This functions as a shell shield (the resistance gained is equal to the proportion of your max life that the shield value would cover).

        If you wield a weapon and shield, you ward off any attack that may come, creating a regular damage shield - but at double strength.

        If you wield a single weapon (or are unarmed), you guard yourself as best you can, and use the reprieve to get a second wind, creating a time shield (though this does not reduce incoming effect durations).

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

        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. The power you are channeling is visible in an aura around you, bright enough to increase your light radius by 2. At base, channeling your power outwardly adds 9 damage to all attacks of the energy type appropriate to your mage knight offensive spells. This scales with the higher of Spellpower or Mindpower.

        In addition, your first successful melee attack each turn grants a 23% chance to trigger one of various Mage Knight talents instead of dealing the bonus damage. This quarters both the cooldown and Essence cost of the talent, and can only happen once per turn. 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 provide buffs are more likely to trigger when you aren't heavily buffed, etc). Spells 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, they can't wield staves to the same effect as others. The staff Accuracy bonus is reduced to one-fifth normal for characters with an Essence pool.

        Your power modifier for a low Essence applies to the bonus damage and to your chance of triggering a talent. Note that since it will also apply to the power of your talents normally, this means that Eldritch Combat is doubly impacted by a low Essence - pace yourself!

        Some Mage Knight talents have "Advanced Energy" effects. These effects apply when you manually use the talent while Eldritch Combat is active. Many of these advanced effects may be occasionally inconvenient, so if you don't wish to trigger them you may deactivate Eldritch Combat to prevent them.
        Eldritch Combat
      		1/5
      • Effective talent level: 1.3
        Use mode: Passive
        Description: While Eldritch Combat allows a Mage Knight to channel their magical power outwardly while they fight, Eldritch Body lets them channel it inwardly, directing the flow of it through their body to augment their speed and power, and help them withstand powerful forces.

        When you first learn this talent, you may substitute Magic for Strength and Dexterity for purposes of equipment requirements, and you substitute magic for all other abilities for purposes of weapon damage, and you gain the ability to wear all forms of armor. Of course, if you have the physical aptitude to wield the weapon normally, that still helps to some degree; you add 7% of the normal ability damage modifiers into your weapons as well; weapons that can use both Strength and Dexterity will convert the Strength modifier to a Dexterity modifier as well if your Dexterity is higher than your Strength. In addition, using your magic to strengthen, hasten, and reinforce your body allows you to make the most of your fighting style:
        -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% (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 +25% bonus to your combat speed.

        Your ability to magically reinforce your body allows you to mitigate overwhelming forces, although this takes a lot of effort and your strength will fade rapidly when you do it, possibly even to the point of death. You reduce all damage received from other characters by potentially as much as 14%. However, the actual reduction is multiplied by both the percentage of your current effective life over your maximum effective life (which includes damage shields and negative life threshold), and the percentage of the damage over your current effective life. So this protects you best when you are at high health and facing high incoming damage - lesser attacks aren't worth the effort to mitigate, and as your strength fails so does your ability to exert that sort of effort. The calculation accumulates damage over the course of one turn, so multiple attacks all coming in the same turn will be reduced according to their combined total compared to your initial life. If the final percent reduction is below 17%, no reduction will occur at all. All damage mitigated by this effect is then returned as irresistible damage over the next 5 turns as your strength fades.

        Description: Your power flares, increasing all damage by 10% for 0 turns and allowing you to ignore the power reduction for low Essence.

        At raw talent level 2, you also boost your Physical Resistance.

        At raw talent level 3, you also boost your Physical Critical Chance.

        At raw talent level 4, you also boost your Spell and Mind Critical Chance.

        At raw talent level 5, you also boost your Critical Multiplier.

        This talent can be triggered by Eldritch Combat.

        Additionally, as a passive effect, you are able to overcome unworthy opponents with trivial effort. Your Essence regeneration increases by 1 for every turn beyond 10 that you have both been in combat and not received any damage. Leaving combat or taking damage immediately resets this bonus to 0. (In practice this is almost never going to matter in actual play and is merely a convenience for using training dummies and such, but who knows it might do something occasionally).

      • Effective talent level: 0.0
        Use mode: Passive
        Description: It is important for a Mage Knight to pace itself during battle, but that need not mean standing idle. When you pass a turn in combat (allowing you to regain Essence), you go on guard for one turn, gaining 9% resist all, 5% resist all cap, and 13% new effect reduction.

        At higher talent levels, if you are at maximum Essence when you pass a turn, then you can take advantage of the breather recuperate in other ways:

        At raw talent level 2, you recover 0 life.

        At raw talent level 3, all of your detrimental effects have their durations lowered by 1.

        At raw talent level 4, one of your talents will cooldown an additional turn.

        At raw talent level 5, another talent will cooldown an additional turn.
