Summoning Spells
Some spells allow you to summon a monster from another plane to fight for your
party. When this happens, you will see the monsters' name along with their number
above your party's information. As long as the planes have not been recently opened,
the summoning spells will usually work. However, once you have summoned one
group of monsters, you may not summon another group until the first group dies or
the encounter is ended.
Sometimes an attack originally meant for your characters will strike the summoned
group of monsters . . . saving you the pain, rest and the healing spells necessary to
recover.
Casting a Spell
There are six steps to casting a spell. As you complete each part, you'll see the cursor
blinking at you to indicate the next course of action.
1. Select the "Spell" option.
2. Select a character to cast the spell.
3. Choose the realm which contains the spell you want to cast (use the arrow
keys).
4. Select the spell.
5. Choose the power level.
6. Give the spell a target (a character, a monster group, an item, a door, etc.).
To learn more spells . . .
Your spell casters must study to learn more spells. When your spell casters gain a
level, be sure to add skill points to their area of proficiency. Some classes, such as the
Samurai, are both warriors and spell casters. Be careful not to neglect their fighting
skills in lieu of spell power.
