I'm trying to understand the spell range. I read in old threads that the "Max Range" field indicated the maximum range of the spell. The only "Maximum Range" field on the current spell screen is under the "Mana Projector Influence" and the value in that field seems to be always equal to the distance to the proposed target. How do I know (except trial and error) the max range for each spell? Is the screen as messed up as it appears or does it somehow make sense? The "Spell Power" numbers seem to make equally little sense but I have a very fuzzy grasp of that aspect and haven't reached a limitation in that area yet. Thanks... |

The maximum range right now shows the distance to the target city. The Mana Projector when release is supposed to be able to boost the range of spells by paying mana or something like that. If you look down the left-hand side of the screen, there is a base range for the spell and a series of modifiers. If you look at the Total Default Range number, that is the range of the spell. That said, with the geomancy spells they don't seem to be correct as the Nature's X series of spells have a range of approximately 100 squares while the Gift of spells have a much higher range than that. The blight distances displayed are accurate from what I remember the few times I used them. ------------- http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/a/p/53810" rel="nofollow">  |

Ranges for geomancy spells as well as blights can be found in Mara Zira's excellent guide to Illy magic.

Thank you, that post is a lot more informative than the spells page in the game. The devs might just want to copy that information into the spells page until they have time to release the new magic stuff. |
